East Lancashire Railway

Visit the East Lancashire Railway - a trip on the East Lancashire Railway is journey back in time. When the line closed in 1972, it would have been the end of an era had the East Lancashire Preservation Society not been committed to restoring it to its former glory. The railway reopened in 1991 and it enthralls visitors young and old.
Play Areas
Visit our playgrounds - Bury has just under 60 equipped play areas. These provide play equipment for children under 12, and stronger, more challenging equipment such as space nets, multi-play ball zones and skate parks for teenagers. We have 21 multi-purpose ball zones, 4 skate parks and 24 tennis courts.
Elton Reservoir
Visit the Elton Reservoir - 56 acre reservoir (completed in 1842 as a water storage body for the nearby Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal) is used extensively by school, scout and community groups as well as Club members for sailing, windsurfing and fishing.
Peel Tower & Holcombe
Visit the Peel Tower & Holcombe Moor - a windswept Pennine moorland experience. Peel Tower stands on Holcombe Hill and its 148 steps can be climbed when the tower is open.
Redisher Wood Nature Reserve
Visit Redisher Wood Nature Reserve - the fourth site that has been selected as a Local Nature Reserve (LNR). This wooded valley at the base of Holcombe Hill, in the north of Bury, is one of the best ancient woodland sites in the Borough. In late Spring the steep valley sides are carpeted with Bluebells and Lesser Celandine lines the banks of Holcombe Brook as it passes through the middle of the valley.
