Just north of Manchester, there’s a wide variety of walks in Bury and its diverse surroundings. From parks and lakes to wild moorland and riverside trails, no two adventures will be the same here. Bury itself thrived during the Industrial Revolution and today you can still see plenty of evidence of times gone by as you explore its historic town centre. The River Irwell flows through the heart, a perfect companion for exploring.
