Bury is a bustling market town with an attractive range of high street shops complemented by picturesque parks and a wide range of leisure facilities. Close to the drill hall, where the foundation walls of Bury Castle were discovered in 1846, you can find the Two Tubs pub - probably Bury's oldest building.

The Art Gallery and Museum accommodates many famous and interesting exhibits. The Met Arts Centre is host to many regular music and theatre events. A 15 minute walk, or short bus journey up the valley will take you to Burrs, a country park, popular for canoeing and possessing a wealth of interest for its industrial archaeology.

Why not visit the Lancashire Fusiliers museum, The Transport museum at Castlecroft or take a trip on the East Lancashire Railway which runs from Bury to Rawtenstall.
