Footpaths weave their way towards it, signs point at it, water cascades from it – but it’s not quite Niagara Falls… it’s the Levenshulme Waterfall.
This natural wonder in south Manchester has been described as ‘our very own slice of paradise’ and a ‘summer holiday destination’.
In fact, not too long ago, new wooden signs appeared in Highfield County Park to point people in the right direction to find the landmark.
That’s in addition to the existing Google Maps pin pointing visitors in the right direction, which has amassed more than 100 five-star reviews.
Looking at a lot of the photos of Levenshulme Waterfall without anything for scale, you might believe you’re looking up at a waterfall cascading down from towering cliffs.

But no. The Levenshulme Waterfall is about the height of your knees.

And while she is certainly small, the love for her in Levenshulme is mighty – and absolutely everyone is in on the joke.

In fact, the not-very-impressive waterfall even has its own social media society, the Levenshulme Waterfall Society, which is ‘dedicated to preserving one of the UK’s most beautiful natural wonders’.
Some of its tongue-in-cheek posts have included fun facts such as: “Fun fact: the City of Manchester was originally founded over 60,000 years ago to provide housing to all the pilgrims visiting Levenshulme Waterfall. The more you know!”
In another post, they played a game of spot the difference between our little waterfall and the Falls of Rauros, a fictional waterfall from The Lord of the Rings.

And once, they wrote: “Fun fact: along with Angel Falls and Victoria Falls, the Levenshulme Waterfall is one of the waterfalls of all time.”
Now with the official wooden signs directing visitors to the Levenshulme Waterfall, it’s become one of our city’s top attractions… and best in-jokes.

Oasis Live ’27 ticket prices have been announced ahead of their almighty 2027 stadium tour.
The band announced a return to the stage this week, after weeks of cryptic videos and even a drone show over Manchester.
Their 2027 shows will span some of the biggest venues in the world, including an eye-watering 11 nights at the Etihad Stadium in their native Manchester, as well as four shows at Knebworth.
Oasis Live ’27 will also take them to Glasgow, Munich, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Boston, Las Vegas, and Slane Castle in Ireland.
Tickets will be sold through a strict fan registration process this year, with only successful registrants even invited to try and buy tickets.
But ahead of that, Oasis have revealed the ticket prices for the Oasis Live ’27 Manchester shows – and unlike the dynamic pricing fiasco, prices will be fixed this time.
Fans will be able to snap up a ticket for as little as £74.60 for seated tickets, with seats then costing up to £266.60, including fees.
Standing tickets will be priced at either £173.60 or £206.60.

Oasis Live ’27 – how to get tickets to huge Manchester Etihad Stadium run
Daisy Jackson
Oasis are officially heading back out on tour, announcing 11 massive nights at the Etihad Stadium for 2027 – but tickets will work a little differently this time around.
The legendary Manchester band will be running the ticket onsale via a registration process, to give ‘genuine fans the best possible chance of getting tickets’.
Unlike a normal ticket sale, where fans can all battle in queues and waiting rooms to buy tickets in a general sale, this time fans must register to even get in the queue.
They’ve made the decision because of ‘anticipated extremely high demand for Oasis Live ’27’.
Those who fought the Ticketmaster War for Taylor Swift Eras Tour tickets will be familiar with the process, but here’s everything Oasis have shared so far.
A registration process will be in place to access the onsale for Oasis Live ’27 – this is the only public way to access tickets.
Registrants will be selected at random to receive a unique code, which will allow you to try and get tickets.
You must use the email used for your Ticketmaster account to register for the process.
Receiving a code does not guarantee that you will be able to buy tickets, but it does get you into the right queue.
There will then be different onsale times and dates for different shows and cities, with ticket onsales taking place between Friday 25 September and Sunday 27 September.
After entering your email, you’ll receive an extra link, where you can rank your preference on cities you would like to see Oasis in.
Fans will then have to answer a trivia question – ‘Which Oasis album was released in 1995?’
Registration for Oasis Live ’27 tickets is open now HERE, and you have until 4pm on Thursday 17 September to register.
