Steam train
Enjoyed seeing a beautiful steam train stopping, so close, while the passengers enjoyed a course of the fine dinning.
Walked into Burry to view the steam train and I was amazed by the small station and how British it had be done by volunteers who were full of memories and knowledge, older generation, In full uniforms sharing with all generations of visitors. It was like a blast from the past.
Went on a steam train to the last stop and then walked back on part of the sculpture trail. It was a brilliant day and fully recommend it to anybody. Even people like us who aren't really interested in trains. It was magical.
Convenient Stopover
A very pleasant, clean and open site in a very beautiful setting. Close to major towns/cities in Lancashire which is great if you want the peace and quiet location for your stay with all the amenities and attractions a short drive away. Plenty of countryside to explore with some lovely walks. A clean and well maintained site with large, level pitches and friendly staff to help if needed.
Scottish Motorhomer
Very nice site.Good walks for the dogs.A pub and playground nearby.Showers and toilets clean.Would recommend a stay if in that area
Surprising Location
This site is a superb location for visiting Manchester and the excellent Bury market . The site is well kept and very clean with friendly hard working Wardens maintaining the very high standards. Hidden away next to a country park our long time friends who have lived nearby for many years were not aware of it's existence although they visit Bury Market weekly.
The hidden gem.
Born & bred in Manchester, the thought of a weekend in Bury doesn't sound enticing. How wrong I was, this is without doubt my favourite club site. As you drive through a housing estate you think "what have I done", then the road becomes cobbled & you pass the entrance to the country park, round a small bend & a beautiful site & sight is in front of you. The warden on the desk, Linda, was absolutely lovely, helpful, chatty and a credit to The Caravan Club. We pitched facing the East Lancs railway, within minutes a train passes, the passengers wave to you, you wave back, lovely. We sat in the sun, two ducks joined us for half an hour, a bit later a dozen rabbits come out to play on the grass, absolute bliss. The site is spotless, the wardens work very hard to keep it that way. Little touches like the herb garden are great.
If any of you out there are thinking "why would I want to go to Bury" all I can say is I thought that and I was very wrong. If you've never been here, GO, you won't regret it.
Sunday leaving
Love this site, visit often, and love spending hubbys money in the famous market.
Disappointed in the caravan club for information. We booked on line and therefore did not have a conversation with the wardens. It would have been nice to have an email to inform us that the Bury Show would be taking place on the fields next to the site. There were notices on site suggesting that those leaving on the Sunday should do so as early as possible due to show traffic. There were quite a few vans (chatted to people in wash up etc. ) that like us got up early, had no breakfast, and packed up to get away early. Now I go away at weekend to relax not to have to run around like a headless chicken, and it is quite obvious that we are only there for the weekend as were the others I spoke to. Why can the club not send a nice email explaining what is happening when they get a booking that says leaving on that day, we could have swopped with another site . When I handed the key in the warden said " oh they are still queuing to get into the grounds you may struggle to get off. " Then why ask us to leave early?! We did have a very close encounter with a horse box on the single file bit of road but due to good driving were both ok. Where were the stewards to see us through this area, not a single person around, the club need to speak to the organisers about this . It was a good job we wanted to be up early as the generators started at 06.30, excellent alarm call .
Had me moan feel better now.

A credit to the club
Stayed here for just over a week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staff are extrmely friendly and helpful. Walks in surrounding areas are excellent. The only downside i would say is the amount of underage drinkers in and around the country park itsel when the weather is good. Police do visit the park but that is literally all they do. Turn up in a big van. Sit in the car park for five minutes and then go again. This is by no means any reflection on the club sote which i cannot praise enough. There are 2 pubs locally. The Brown Cow is excelent value for both food and drink and literally a stones throw from the site. The Garsdale which is a little further down the road is in my opinion over priced and also dont allow dogs in the bar which is ridiculous in an area like this. Bury is about a half hour walk away. Will definately be returning here.
