Swinton is located about four miles NorthWest of Manchester city centre and three and a half miles from Salford. It is not, yet, on the Metrolink, but it does have two railways stations within convenient distance. Journey time to Manchester is about 15 minutes. There are also numerous local buses and excellent road links.
Although modern Swinton is largely a commuter town for people working in Manchester and MediaCity UK, it is also the seat of Salford City Council. This means that there is also a reasonable amount of demand from people working locally.
Swinton is now considered to be an affluent area, which can be seen in the growing house prices for the area. Just four miles from Manchester, this trendy town started life as a small farming hamlet, it grew throughout the industrial era and is now one of the most sought-after commuter towns in the Greater Manchester area thanks to a strong transport network coupled with lovely green spaces.
The Salford Civic Centre is one of the crowning glories of Swinton, with its domineering clock tower. There is a strong rugby tradition in Swinton as their Rugby League team has seen great success over the years, and the area is also known as a centre for a number of former Premier League footballers. The local leisure centre boasts a gym, sports hall and 25 metre swimming pool, whilst those looking for a quieter way to spend their time can head to the library located within Swinton Gateway, or head to one of the beautiful country parks in the area.
Swinton has a fantastic and diverse range of restaurants on offer. You can spend an evening eating Italian, Thai or even Nepalese food, which is thanks to the town becoming more trendy and cosmopolitan. There are tea rooms that can serve breakfast or afternoon tea and a range of traditional family pubs.
If you prefer a quiet night in then there is also a wide range of takeaways and fast food options to satisfy hunger in a hurry. There are also karaoke bars and quieter drinking holes to while away an evening.
