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.
