Worsley Estate Agents
Worsley is a picturesque and historic village in Salford, Greater Manchester, renowned for its charming Georgian and Victorian architecture, scenic canals, and deep-rooted industrial heritage. The area is famously associated with the Bridgewater Canal, Britain`s first industrial canal, built in the 18th century by the Duke of Bridgewater to transport coal. Today, the canal`s tree-lined towpaths and iconic orange-tinted waters caused by iron oxide from local mines make Worsley a popular spot for walking, cycling, and narrowboat trips. The village retains an old-world charm with landmarks like Worsley Old Hall and St. Mark`s Church, while its upmarket pubs, such as The Bridgewater Hotel, and boutique shops add a touch of modern sophistication. Surrounded by lush green spaces, including Worsley Woods and Worsley Golf Club, the area offers a peaceful yet well-connected lifestyle, just a short drive from Manchester city centre. With its blend of history, natural beauty, and affluent appeal, Worsley remains one of Greater Manchester`s most desirable locations.
