Didsbury West

The quieter side of Didsbury — big houses, leafy streets

West Didsbury has its own personality — slightly more bohemian and younger than East Didsbury, with a growing food scene on Burton Road and Lapwing Lane. Equally leafy and desirable, with some of Manchester's best primary schools. The area around Fog Lane Park is particularly family-friendly.
