Eccles is a down-to-earth town in the City of Salford, part of Greater Manchester, with a strong sense of identity and a proper mix of grit and community spirit. It's probably best known for the world-famous Eccles cake, but there's more to the place than flaky pastry and currants. With decent transport links, a compact town centre and its close-knit neighbourhoods, Eccles holds onto its heritage while gradually adapting to modern life.

The town dates back to at least Roman times, thanks to its spot near the old Roman road leading to Manchester. The name Eccles is believed to come from the Celtic word for church, giving you a clue about its ancient roots. Eccles grew steadily through the Middle Ages but really took off during the Industrial Revolution when it became a hub for textile manufacturing. The nearby Manchester Ship Canal brought more trade and jobs to the area. These days, Eccles is home to around 40,000 people, and you'll still find traces of its industrial past in the architecture and old red-brick buildings dotted around town.

In terms of things to see and do, Eccles has a few solid options. The town centre has a mix of shops, pubs and eateries, and Eccles Market offers everything from fresh produce to second-hand goods. The nearby Bridgewater Canal is great for walking or cycling, and just up the road is Worsley, a lovely heritage village with canalside pubs and beautiful old buildings. For green space, head to Winton Park or take a short trip to the RHS Garden Bridgewater—one of the biggest gardening projects in Europe. If you fancy something more historic, there's Ordsall Hall, a Tudor manor house, or you can venture to National Trust favourites like Dunham Massey or Quarry Bank Mill, both an easy drive away.

There's no shortage of attractions across Greater Manchester. Whether it's the world-class museums and galleries of Manchester, the Lowry and MediaCity in Salford, or the historic market towns like Bury and Altrincham, you're never short of a day out. You've got Old Trafford just down the road for football or cricket, plus big shopping and leisure spots like the Trafford Centre. Then there's the green escape of Heaton Park or the Peak District just beyond the urban sprawl for something a bit more outdoorsy.

Getting to and from Eccles is a doddle. It's got its own railway station with services to Manchester Victoria and beyond, and it's on the Metrolink tram line, making it easy to get across the city. The M602 runs right past it, linking to the M60 and M62, so drivers are well sorted too. Manchester Airport is about a 20-minute drive or reachable via train and tram, so you're well connected whether you're heading into town or off on holiday.

Greater Manchester's a proper patchwork of places, each with its own style. From urban centres full of industry and innovation to suburban towns steeped in history, the region's got range. It's known for its music, football, resilience and community feel. Eccles fits neatly into that mix—it might not be flashy, but it's proud of its roots and full of character. There's a quiet confidence about the town that gives it staying power, and it plays its part in the broader story of the region without trying too hard.
