Oldham is a rugged and proud northern town perched on the edge of the Pennines, with sweeping views and plenty of character. Sitting just a few miles northeast of Manchester, it feels like it's got a foot in both the city and the countryside. There's a strong sense of community, deep roots in industry, and a real mix of culture thanks to generations of change. Whether you're walking through the town centre or heading out onto the moors, Oldham's the sort of place that wears its heart on its sleeve.

Historically, Oldham was a small agricultural village until the Industrial Revolution turned it into one of the biggest textile powerhouses in the world. At its peak, it had more spindles than any other town on the planet, spinning cotton day and night. The town grew quickly in the 19th century, with rows of red-brick terraces, grand civic buildings and a booming population. Oldham played a key role in the working-class movement too, with unions, strikes and politics shaping its past. These days, around 240,000 people live in the wider borough, which includes areas like Chadderton, Failsworth, Royton and Saddleworth. The mills might be gone, but the tough, independent spirit hasn't faded.

There's plenty to explore in and around Oldham. The Oldham Coliseum Theatre has long been a local favourite for live performances, while Gallery Oldham blends art, history and natural science in one modern space. The Spindles Shopping Centre keeps the high street ticking over, and the town's food scene offers a proper mix of local cafés, curry houses and classic chippies. Venture just a little further and the real magic kicks in—Saddleworth Moor, Dovestone Reservoir, and the Huddersfield Narrow Canal all offer cracking walks and stunning views. For a bit of heritage, the National Trust's Marsden Moor Estate is nearby, great for hiking and birdwatching. English Heritage fans can visit Castleshaw Roman Forts or explore the historical grit of places like Stalybridge and Uppermill.

Greater Manchester is full of contrast and character. You're never far from something interesting—whether it's a gig in Manchester, shopping in Bury, theatre in Salford or a wander through the streets of Stockport. Manchester itself is bursting with galleries, museums, music and food, while Wigan and Bolton offer their own take on northern life. You've got moorland and canals, football and street art, Victorian architecture and shiny glass towers—all blending into one big, buzzing region that keeps changing but never loses its edge.

Getting to and around Oldham is fairly straightforward. The town's well served by Metrolink trams, which run into Manchester city centre and connect through to other boroughs like Bury and Rochdale. There are good bus routes too, linking Oldham to nearby towns and villages. While Oldham no longer has its own mainline station, nearby stations like Mills Hill and Greenfield keep it connected to the wider rail network. The M60, M62 and A627(M) make driving easy enough, and if you're flying, Manchester Airport is around 30–40 minutes away by road or public transport, depending on your route.

Greater Manchester is one of those regions that knows exactly who it is. It's made up of ten boroughs, each with its own story to tell. There's working-class pride, cultural innovation and a proper sense of belonging threaded through it all. You've got everything from booming city life to quiet hills and old mill towns, all tied together with trams, canals and community. It's rough around the edges in places, sure—but that's half the charm.

We hope you found this Oldham tourist map useful for your visit to the area.
