What visitors say
Great location for Bury (25 minute walk) or Manchester (walk to Bury plus 30 minutes on a regular tram). Lots of walking nearby but it was rainy when we visited the city instead. Very clean showers and toilets, nice big gravel pitches, very well kept site. Everyone super friendly and helpful. We’d love to come back very soon!

Lovely site with access to the Country park. Pub and Ice cream parlour in walking distance. Friendly staff who look after the site to a high standard. Clean facilities and plenty of hot water. Bit of a bumby road to access the site but okay if taken slowly. Lovely flat pitches with plenty of space. Major retail outlets, steam railway and motor museum nearby. Great location for walks and sightseeing in the area Easy access to Manchester City centre when using public transport.

Another fabulous site with friendly helpful staff. The pitches are able size and facilities are spotless. There's a camp shop with all the essentials. The site and so.e.pitches are adjacent to the east lanes railway, where steam trains can be seen running by. There is a large park for walking, cycling and dog walks. The town is a short drive away, and Bury .market is a must for the famous Bury black pudding. We had the best Jersey Milk coffee at the farm ice cream parlour which is a 10 minute walk away.

Lovely site , clean and well run. Excellent pub for drinks and good nearby,(The Brown Cow- care the food portions are huge and very reasonably priced with great service too). The only drawback to this site and it's not their fault is the appalling cobbled lane you have to use to get to it. Shakes the living daylights out of car and caravan. Will certainly test tow hitch and cupboard door security!
