Wythenshawe Hall is worth stopping for if you are touring in your motor home. There is a small shop, and refreshments in the Park.
It has developed over fourteen generations of the Tatton family until 1926, when the estate was sold to provide new housing for the people of Manchester. It now houses the art gallery and public park and has been open to the public ever since. Only a small part of the Hall is now open to the public, but these few rooms are worth a visit.
