Hiking

The Temple is the highest point in Heaton Park. It was designed in the 18th century as a decorative feature for the park's estate. You can enjoy breathtaking views over the city of Manchester, and on a clear day, the Pennines too.

Cycling

The Temple is the highest and most significant viewing platform in Manchester, with spectacular elevated views of the city and surrounding areas. It was designed in 1800 and we believe it was first used as an observatory by Sir Thomas Egerton, the first Earl of Wilton
