Honestly though, you don't need a passport to feel like you've gone somewhere. These are the places I send people when they say they're bored of Manchester. Train ticket, flask of tea, decent boots, job done. Rated out of ten because everything deserves a number, and nothing in this city gets a flat five from me.

1Edale and Kinder Scout	Steep, occasionally unmarked, and your calves will hate you. Worth every bit of it, honestly though.	Edale and Kinder Scout	Direct train from Manchester Piccadilly, about 50 minutes	9
2Castleton	Caverns, a ruined castle, pubs that don't rush you out. Bring cash for the fudge shop.	Castleton	Train to Hope then short bus or walk, roughly an hour from Manchester	8
3Buxton	Posh spa town energy without the posh price tag. Good for a lazy wander, terrible for a hangover walk.	Buxton	Direct train from Manchester Piccadilly, about an hour	7
4Hebden Bridge	Vintage shops, canal boats, more vinyl than one man needs. I needed it anyway.	Hebden Bridge	Direct train from Manchester Victoria, about 40 minutes	9
