Rochdale is a town on the outskirts of Manchester which is more affordable than living in the city centre.

Houses in the area sell for an average of £198,925, according to Rightmove.

Detached properties are worth the most and have sold for around £356,400 in the last year.

Those in the area can enjoy time outside by visiting the nearby Healey Dell Nature Reserve.

This has beautiful walks with lots of wildlife and a scenic waterfall.

Those who have visited the area have praised it with reviews posted on Tripadvisor.

One said: "Extremely variable and interesting. We will be sure to have a detailed map on our next visit.

"If you know exactly where you are going a long afternoon of walking is attainable."

Another added: "Went for a birthday afternoon tea. This really is a hidden gem. We walked for about an hour, which isn't really enough time to enjoy the scenery.

"There were waterfalls, valleys, a viaduct, remains of an old mill and a bomb factory. We will definitely go again when we have more time."

One more wrote: "I often walk with my friend around Healey Dell, it is a magical place with lots of history and wildlife, the different seasons offer something different."

Brian's former bandmate Shane Filan also owns a house in a quiet part of the UK, setting up camp in Surrey.
