Burrs Country Park

The park is a great place to visit, lying on the River Irwell one mile from Bury town centre. It's an ideal spot for a range of activities including walking, canoeing, fishing, birdwatching as well as picnicing. The East Lancs Railway runs through the park with steam trains stopping at Burrs Halt. Part of the Irwell Sculpture Trail is in the park with 4 of it's sculptures on display. Burrs contains several architectural remains from it's industrial past. There is a pub and a café in the park, and a children's playground at the gates. Please respect the code and take all litter home with you. The car parks get very busy at peak times so please use public transport if possible. Neither camping nor barbeques are allowed within the park. Fishing is by licence only. Please contact the Ramsbottom Angling Club

the travel restrictions mean we should get to know local places again. Burrs Park was an industrial complex for well over 100 years, progressing from water mill to steam, fed by the river Irwell which winds through the site Once the industry went away it was converted to a park, although it still has a dam, a short canal, and a steam railway going through it. Great place for a walk, with lots of wildlife now.

Reviewed By N1853TZmarke

1st class food again from the Moghul. Now Tier 3 is in place they have adapted really well, once you order your food you are provided with a ticket that the bar staff need to see as they deliver your drinks. The Covid set up is spot on from arriving to leaving, can't fault how they have adapted in difficult times
