Welcome back to Blooms & Bicycles! 🌼
Join us amidst the enchanting autumn scenery of Ordsall Hall in Salford, where we had the pleasure of chatting with Ellen Holmes from Cycling UK! 🍁🍂 🌾
Cycling UK has been at the forefront of promoting cycling for over 140 years, advocating for cyclists’ interests, and inspiring people across the UK to experience the joys of cycling.
We encourage you to explore the fantastic resources available on Cycling UK’s website and YouTube channel, where you can learn how to get involved in their impactful work across Manchester and beyond.
While you’re diving into the world of cycling, why not visit Ordsall Hall? A hidden gem in Salford, Ordsall Hall is a stunning example of a 600-year-old Elizabethan black and white half-timbered manor house. Their warm and welcoming team is eager to share the rich heritage of this historic site and guide you through its beautiful gardens. And don’t forget to mark your calendar for their upcoming ghost tour this October—it promises to be a thrilling experience you won’t want to miss! 👻🚲
This interview is just a taste of the content we hope to bring to our channel beyond our floristry tutorials, where we share highlights of the local cycling community and offer ideas on heritage and natural sites in Manchester that you can explore by bike. We hope you enjoy it!
