Manchester can trace its recorded history to the existence of a Roman fort called Mamucium or Mancunium, which was established in 79 AD. It was built on a sandstone bluff, near the junction of the rivers Medlock and Irwell, nearly 2,000 years ago. With its large size and massive population, it may be somewhat difficult to imagine that there could be several places around the city to camp in luxury, but there are.
