CyanLines Manchester

100 miles of nature in our city.

CyanLines is a bold new initiative over the next decade to imagine and create over 100 miles of connected parks, green spaces and waterfronts.

CyanLines is our plan to provide over 100 miles of walking and wheeling routes that bring us all closer to nature and nature closer to us. Emanating from Manchester and Salford city centre, it will ultimately link up all Greater Manchester’s boroughs to bring our citizens and communities closer to nature and help drive a greener, healthier, and inclusive future.
