Notes
About a mile from the centre of Bury, along Brandlesholme Road, the recently developed Burrs Country Park is a good example of what a Local Authority can do to reclaim derelict industrial land when it chooses to. Many natural and man-made water courses, and the resultant watersports which that attracts. Situated at the junction of the Irwell Valley Way and the Peel Trail, it is overlooked by Castlesteads, thought to be a prehistoric fort.
