Nothing signals the arrival of spring quite like trees sporting colourful displays of blossom. To help people find the best blooms across the city over the coming weeks, the National Trust has launched an interactive map as part of its #BlossomWatch campaign.
The trail, named Bloomtown in a nod to the city’s ‘boom town’ history, features 30 places to see blossom in Manchester, from Magnolias on the Rochdale Canal to cherry trees in Hulme Park.
There are some unexpected locations on the route too, such as Cutting Room Square in Ancoats and Whitworth Street West. A pop-up blossom display in Sadler’s Yard has been created especially for the trail, with 12 different types of apple and cherry trees.
The trees will be planted at Angel Square later in the year.
