Village Link Walks 5 & 6 – Park Farm to Nangreaves to Rowlands Road (or reverse)

Overview

The Village Link is a unique trail of just under 18 miles around and between six of Bury’s most historic villages. The trail consists of several quite distinct separate sections, each varying in length and scenery, and between 2 to 5 miles long. The trail is ideal for everyone from the seasoned walker to the weekend strollers.

This section includes Grant’s Tower, an ideal spot for a picnic with wonderful views, and Mount Pleasant village.

A map and directions are also provided for the reverse version of the route.

All of the routes are 100% waymarked to avoid any confusion – look out for the green and white discs marked ‘Village Link’ and you won’t go far wrong.

Accessibility

Although individual sections will include level and well-surfaced accessible sections, there is also a wide variety of terrain on the various parts of the Village Link. For this reason, we are not currently rating these walks as suitable for wheelchair and pushchair users.
