Dog friendly site

We are normally CL'ers, we travel with three active dogs and like our peace and quiet. This site was perfectly located for us so we thought we would give it a try. The site was immaculate and the facilities very well kept. We indulged in showers and wifi (things we aren't used to) and enjoyed our selves thoroughly. We had a nice grass pitch (don't like hard standing!!) just beside the railway. For dogs it was perfect as you were straight out the site entrance and into the country park so they could run off lead. The steam railway was fun to watch and only few services a day so didn't disturb us. Obviously the site is on edge of the town and the country park was busy but it was surprisingly quiet. Overall we were very impressed.

One of our favourite sites

Have friends in the area and have visited this site a few times in recent years. It is always a welcoming site despite changes in wardens, always clean, roomy pitches, and a great place to bring a dog with good walking from the site and a dog friendly pub near its entrance. Will be even better if the steam railway gets it's hoped for stop at the site!

Great spot

We used this site as a base to do kids activities(Alton towers, Drayton manor, Blackpool). The site was excellent and very clean and the toddlers bathroom a real bonus for us with 3yr old twins!! Bury itself is a nice town with all you need. The train that runs along the back of the site was great as every time it went past our boys went running over to wave. We went on the train and went to Ramsbottom and it was also a lovely little village. I would recommend this as a great area and a good base for exploring North of England to the Midlands. Our family really enjoyed our stay. Thanks

So near,yet so far away

Burrs is so near to Bury yet retains the feel of splendid isolation.The site is beautifully tended by the staff,almost manicured lawns everywhere.Plenty of wild birds in evidence and for the dogs,walks in just about every direction.Industrial heritage abounds with pools,river,and feeder canals alongside the remains of mills and suchlike.I did of course mention that you can be having breakfast whilst watching a full size steam train passing your pitch,or even a diesel if that's your thing.The East Lancs Railway is on the doorstep at Bury,well worth a visit,all in all a lovely roomy site.

A pleasant surprise

"What on earth have you brought me here for" exclaimed my wife as we drove towards the site after exiting J2 of the M66. I have to say the surroundings of Bury did not bode well for the camp site, but once we arrived at Burrs our hearts were lifted by a lovely site well spread out and to my joy a grass pitch. The warden was most helpful when I asked for a good one that was close to the railway line, Pitch 52 is grass and is just opposite the water supply. There are some nice walks along the river and of course the East Lancs Railway where you can use your Caravan Club voucher and get 2 for 1 on travel saving between £8 and £14:50 depending on what ticket you buy. There is an Aldi not far from the site which is hidden a little, but is right by the B&Q store on the left as you come up to Woodhill Road. The approach to the site is on cobbles with several pot holes and a narrow single lane bridge so take care. There is a pub, The Brown Cow, virtually on site but we did not use it.

First visit to Burrs Country Park

We visited Burrs Country Park for the first time for a four night break at the start of June. The site is located within a small country park with some nice rural views and the added pleasure of having the East Lancashire Steam Railway running across the back of the site. When a train comes everything stops and you see everyone emerging from the awnings for a peak. The site is very well kept and is very flat. The Country Park itself isn't the biggest but its a nice wander around on a fine evening. Toilet and facilities block was very well kept and maintained. In fact I'd say the the toilet block was spotless. There is also a pub right at the Caravan Site entrance which has a nice beer garden and is serving food of a good standard. We went on a day trip on the railway, where, with your days out guide you qualify for a 2 for 1 offer which is great value. There's plenty of places to eat and drink in Bury town center which isn't far away and the Bury market was something very special we thought. The site is a great base for travelling around the area with lots to do and see in the area. Unfortunately on this trip and to our surprise we ran out of time but we will return again and have certainly added this site of ones to return too in the future.

Pleasant surprise

Just returned from 3 mid-week nights at Burrs and would have stayed longer had there been any availability. What a lovely site and so well run and cared for. All the facilities were spot on in fact the very best i have seen for some time. Whenever you used the shower block it was spotless - well done. For children or dog lovers the site is ideal with lots of open spaces. We enjoyed a short walk as recommended by the site which ended up at the Brown Cow pub(think that is the name but very near the site entrance) The walk was lovely but can't say the same about the pub but we had a meal there which was OK. There is another pub quite near which we will try on our next visit.

Good base for touring

The site is surprisingly spacious and very well managed with immaculate modern facilities that afford a welcome bit of elbow room. Situated adjacent to a small country park that is agreeably suffering from illiterate dog owners, a lot of litter and diminished funding, you have to remember that this site remains very well placed for touring the area and the East Lancs. Steam Railway on one side provides some consolation. The club’s “Great Days Out” voucher gives everyone 2 for 1 train tickets and the destinations of Rawtenstall (see Whitworth Park, Museum & Ski slope) and Ramsbottom (food & shopping) well worth a visit, whilst Summerseat is the nearest station with free parking and Freedom of the Line tickets, best value as they includes entry to the Bury Transport Museum. The Club Site information kiosk is disappointingly short on information, so it is worth researching on-line beforehand. The Lancashire Museums, with the exception of Bury, are eclectic and well presented. The Helmshore Textile Museum is close, fascinating and surrounded by mill shops and from a car park or pub in Holcombe, a scramble up to the views from Peel Tower and Pilgrims’ Cross worth the effort. Slightly further away, The Queen St Mill and Towneley Hall http://www.burnley.gov.uk/residents/towneley-hall in Burnley are also well worth visiting. Attractions in the area are all modestly priced, or free if you have an Art Fund pass. Bury is busy with plenty of big shops and a very extensive market, but if all you want is a supermarket, Ramsbottom has an Aldi, Tescos and Morrisons without the traffic.
