Castlefield
With a unique identity and distinctive landscape, Castlefield offers an attractive residential location, a variety of popular visitor attractions, and a collection of vibrant restaurants and bars. The history of Manchester began in Castlefield with the development of a civilian settlement associated with the Roman fort near the confluence of the rivers Medlock and Irwell. Castlefield was Britain’s first Urban Heritage Park and is characterised by the Bridgewater Canal, the world’s oldest industrial canal, and as the destination of the world's first intercity railway in 1830, as well as its cobbled streets and tranquil backdrop.
