Monday Dozen

Twelve pubs that are all open on a Monday, from The Didsbury up to the Woodstock Arms

The Salmon of Knowledge is closed on Mondays, which rules out every other route. This one skips it and takes in the Slug and Lettuce instead, following the Original Dozen from The Didsbury up through the village and along Barlow Moor Road to finish at the Woodstock Arms. The Slug shuts at 10pm on Mondays, so don't start late.

Finishes on Barlow Moor Road, on the 23 bus route and about 15 minutes' walk from West Didsbury tram stop. Getting there and back
