caption_attribution_description: English: Liverpool-Manchester Combined Urban Area
context_page_description: The two cities of Liverpool and Manchester, some 35 miles apart in North West England, are connected in many ways, but also have a historic rivalry in sporting and other senses. The cities are sometimes considered parts of a large polynuclear metropolitan area or megalopolis. The total population of the area is over 5.6 million.
  The region is separated from the West Yorkshire Urban Area and the Sheffield Urban Area, by the Peak District and is close to the Rossendale urban area, the Accrington Urban Area near Blackburn and Burnley and the Preston Urban Area. The short distance between the areas make some consider them part of the Liverpool-Manchester megalopolis.
