Greater Manchester is set to bask in another sunny day today, with highs of up to 27C forecast by the Met Office. Weather like this calls for one treat in particular: ice cream.

Scoops of the cold stuff are best enjoyed while strolling around a beautiful park, or even just lying on the grass. While an appearance by an ice cream van can't always be guaranteed, one Greater Manchester park has a more permanent option.

In the heart of Mesnes Park is Frederick’s Ice Cream Parlour, found inside the magnificent Pavilion. The stunning Victorian building has been home to an ice cream parlour ever since it was originally built.
