Map of the UK

Wardley is a suburb of the city of Salford in England, sitting on the western edge of Greater Manchester between Worsley and Swinton. It lies close to the River Irwell and benefits from quick motorway links into Manchester, giving a largely suburban feel with a mix of housing and accessible green space.

The area’s most distinctive landmark is Wardley Hall, a moated manor with medieval origins long associated with the Roman Catholic bishops of Salford and local folklore; beyond that the locality has light industry and trading estates reflecting its 20th‑century shift from rural to residential and commercial use. Community life is typical of an outer‑urban neighbourhood, with local schools, clubs and small shopping areas and the practical advantage of being a short commute from central Manchester.
