With each walk having its own colour map and a detailed route description, this self-led walks booklet supports independent walking and invites the wider communities of Bury to step outside and enjoy exploring their local green spaces.
We encourage everyone to join to make walking outdoors part of a healthier active lifestyle that everyone within the communities and neighbourhoods of Bury can enjoy.
About the walks
Within the booklet you will find two walk options for each of the six townships (Ramsbottom, Tottington and North Manor, Whitefield and Unsworth, Bury West, Prestwich, Bury East, Radcliffe).
Each walk is circular, no more than 3½ miles in distance and should take between 60-90 minutes for most people to complete.
The start points for each walk are accessible by public transport with either a bus or tram stop close by. Most will also have café/toilet facilities located either at the start/end of the walk or part way along the route.
To make finding your way a little easier, each route map is numbered and will coincide with the accompanying numbered route description on the opposite page of each downloadable guide. Please use this as a reference to guide you along the route especially at junction points.
