Irwell Sculpture Trail

Post by ratherbeintobago »

Anyone know if this is rideable from Burrs north toward Rammy? Website hasn’t been updated in some time and is broken, so it’s not clear whether it’s footpath or bike path.

It isn't. Footpath status, narrow and very muddy in places. Sustrans 6 gives a decent ride north from Bury to Rammy.

Is that traffic free?

Small people want to go out on bikes…

From Woodhill Rd which leads to Burrs (staying on the site?) up to Greenmount is an old rlwy so traffic free, just under 4 miles with caff/ice cream at the top end - The Hub.

No, but reckoned I could get parked at Burrs.

Sorry to be clear I can park on Woodhill Rd?

I think the kids have ambitions to go to Jersey Girls afterwards…

Carry on Woodhill Rd and park at Burrs country park, last section of the road is cobbled, it is Bury after all.
