Burrs Country Park - its a Caravan Club site just outside the town centre in Bury but within minutes you can be walking in the countryside
My only sughestion would be to give the 'Brown Cow' pub a miss - it should be re-named the Brown Lung - even the air is carcsonogenic Go down the road to the Garsdale - but either go early or book on a Saturday night - we waited quite a while for food, but it was worth the wait
Hard to beleive this is a photo taken today - its also hard to beleive that its 'Bury' in Greater Manchester/Lancs
And if this is global warning - camping in February! Bring it on - We were warm as toast

Got to agree with you - we were there last weekend, OK it was very windy, but I had the pleasure of waking up to the sound of steam loco's pulling upline from Rawtenstall (the line is visible from the site) and all the steam railway enthusiasts lining the hill opposite.(An open weekend apparently)
Some very pleasant walks in the area and so close to Manchester via the Metro link.
Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Agree - excellent site. Very nice walk into Bury town centre, to the very excellent Bury Market, or the tram into Manchester. Well worth a vist (but we found exactly the same with the pub). Luckily we called in for a drink to see if we needed to book a table, so escaped. All that will change soon though!

When does your no smoking rules come in. Hope they are not a draconian as up in Scotland. They should have allowed a ventilated room in each pub/club etc for smokers, but unfortunately, and as usual, the political masters cannot use common sense.
I do not smoke and do see the advantages of a fresh atmosphere, however, if they do not make a profit then they will shut. Where can you go then?

The smoking ban does not affect pub/restaurant profits.
Well, thats a lie, it increases it.
Irelands on it and Scotland has just been put on it - pubs enjoy an increase in business. Its only smelly smokers who think htat their business is so important to the pub.
Smokers put off more people than ever leave because they cant smoke in a pub.
We walked into the 'Brown Lung' yesterday and walked straight out because it smelt like my grandma's vest...
We would have had two drinks each in there and later come back for a meal circa £40 with drinks. I am sure we werent the only ones
