Description
Over 200 hectares of woodland, in and around the Irwell Valley, offers a unique place to relax within a relatively built-up suburb to the south of Bury. The park is made up of a number of sites - with the River Irwell and streams running through it - and the whole area is being developed as a wooded park as part of the creation of the Red Rose Forest.
Marked paths and trails have been created for cyclists and horseriders and there are walks, an orienteering course and fishing opportunities. You can access the forest park via Park Lane to Philips Park, or by Agecroft Road to Drinkwater Park.
