Traveler reviews
Ahlam A S AbuElkhair
★★★★★8 years agoIt's very nice place, if you searching for the peace, quiet, and tranquility. This would be the best place for you .. there are chairs to sit on. It's a good place to meditate as well. I highly recommend it, to escape from the hustle of life.
Munir Jibrin
★★★★★11 months agoThe footbridge, a significant gesture over the River Irwell, serves as the first pedestrian crossing and connects the city of Salford with Manchester. The bridge is named after the nearby Trinity Church, and was built between 1993 and 1995. The footbridge emerges from the Salford side, surrounded by two traditional stone-arch motor bridges.
