Perched on the banks of the River Irwell, Manchester Cathedral – officially the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St. Mary, St. Denys, and St. George – dates mostly from 1422 to 1506 and was raised to cathedral status in 1847. Particularly attractive are its chapels on both sides of the nave and choir.

The pinnacle of doggy entertainment (particularly during the summer), Northern Eudaimonia is Ancoats’ uber-sweet dessert spot – with puddings for pups and humans alike. Situated on the lovely marina, it’s the perfect spot to soak up the sun and cool off with a tasty pot of doggy ice cream.

t’s only fitting given that Rudy’s is literally named after the founder’s dog that the popular pizzeria is dog friendly. The casual dining spot is more than welcoming of your pooch pals, but it’s probably best not to feed them their tasty pizzas (as much as we’d like them to experience the yumminess!).
