Welcome to Carrington

Carrington is a small village located in the Greater Manchester area of England. It is situated approximately 10 miles southwest of Manchester city centre and is bordered by the River Mersey to the south. The village has a population of around 4,000 people and is known for its rural setting and proximity to the Trafford Centre, one of the largest shopping centres in Europe.

Carrington has a rich history dating back to the 13th century when it was known as Carrington Moss. The village was originally a farming community and remained so until the 20th century when it began to develop into a residential area. Today, Carrington is a popular destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life while still being within easy reach of Manchester and its many attractions.

Despite its small size, Carrington has a number of amenities including a primary school, a post office, and several shops and pubs. The village is also home to a number of sports clubs including a football team and a cricket club. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Carrington is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is close to the Trans Pennine Trail, a popular walking and cycling route that runs from coast to coast across northern England.
