A great site in North Manchester

This is the closest main site to our home in Huddersfield, and we decided to go for a 2 night stay to try out our new awning. We'd been twice before and always enjoyed it thoroughly. The site is the usual high caravan club standard, with the East Lancs Heritage Railway running by the site with many steam engines all day Saturday and Sunday. I understand that the Club has bought an adjoining field onto which will go some more pitches and a special platform for the railway! Reason to visit again! The site is superb. Burrs Country Park is excellent, and the pubs good. What else would a discerning caravanner / steam fan want?! Bury itself is an ok sort of town to visit - the usual mix of smart shopping Centre (The Rock), a fantastic market (Bury Market) but more than it's fair share of run down properties, pound shops and charity shops. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice enough place with excellent tram connections into Manchester City Centre, but on it's own not a reason to visit imho. The River Irwell runs through the town and flooded quite badly after Christmas. The walking route from the site to the town is a bit grim, with the litter, debris and mud left by the floods contributing to a bit of a depressed area. I'd recommend you visit this site and make your own minds up. If your preference is to stay on site and chill, then it'll be great. If you're expecting a scenic stroll into town (as you do from Rowntree Park into York) then you're in for a disappointment. Wardens pleasant, helpful and friendly
