About

Eccles is a town within the City of Salford, situated west of Manchester city centre near the Manchester Ship Canal.

Eccles is well-connected by public transport, including its Metrolink tram stop on the line to Manchester.

The town is historically known for its association with the Eccles cake, a sweet pastry still produced locally.

Large green spaces like the Bridgewater Canal towpath and the wider Salford Quays development are within easy reach, providing recreational routes and waterfront access for residents.
