Landmarks

Burrs Country Park

The main attraction to Brandlesholme would be that it hosts the Burrs Country Park. About a mile from the centre of Bury, at the far North of Woodhill Road lies the recently developed Burrs Country Park - a good example of what a Local Authority can do to reclaim derelict industrial land when it chooses to. Many natural and man-made water courses, and the resultant watersports which that attracts. Situated at the junction of the Irwell Valley Way and the Peel Trail, it is overlooked by Castlesteads, thought to be a prehistoric fort. The park is a popular spot for canoeing and also boasts an isolated public house for those who prefer to struggle to appreciate nature without a spot of alcoholic influence.

Throughout the park, the East Lancashire Railway is a familiar site, adding to the beauty of the surroundings. LMS Class 3F Jinty 0-6-0T No. ...
