Chorlton

South Manchester's favourite village — indie shops, parks and brunch

Chorlton is Manchester's answer to the village lifestyle. Independent shops, brunch spots, delis and pubs line Beech Road and Barlow Moor Road. Chorlton Water Park and Chorlton Ees provide green space. It attracts a creative, liberal, family-oriented crowd. Pricier than neighbours but worth it for the quality of life.
