I'm craving the countryside..

But being at uni in Manchester, I've come to terms that it's not a very country-fied place.
So this is where you guys come in. I'd like to be pointed in the direction of somewhere in the country. Must be Stagecoach bussable as I have a pass, and I can't afford trains.
Would really appreciate your help. I'm just after a half day trip where I can walk and admire some scenery?

Search Manchester on google maps, there are several nice big green chunks not too far from Manchester and it appears the bus goes to some of them.
Glossop is on the edge of the Peaks and is served by buses from Manc, it also looks like you can get buses to Buxton and those will go through the countryside, get off somewhere like Fernilee if they go through there.
Not a perfect answer I know, but might be off some use, I've walked in the Peaks a few times, there's plenty there for afternoon strolls, not just serious walking.
Or, try having a look for some Peaks tourist info, that may give you bus access from Manc.
Buxton was a recommendation my mentor gave me, so I might have to do that one then
I mean how you would get to the countryside from here on a bus - if needs be - you are best off asking Lucky Strike.
:yes: or just head anywhere in the region of the Ribble Valley - about an hour from manchester and only a few quid on a direct train and your in a *lovely* town with lots of *lovely* surrounding countryside. Am I sounding convincing?
Just don't think you would need to travel all the way to Lakes for an afternoons of strolling - look more local!
