About Manchester

As the seat of Clay County, Manchester is a quiet mountain town set right along the scenic bends of Goose Creek. Deep in eastern Kentucky, the community blends a long frontier heritage with easy access to the Daniel Boone National Forest. You'll find a relaxed, small-town pace around the historic courthouse square, with plenty of nearby trails and rivers to explore on the weekends. It has a grounded local charm, shaped by over two centuries of history and the green hills that surround it.
