East Lancashire Railway & Bury (half day)

We enjoy a delightful trip on the heritage East Lancashire Railway from Rawtenstall to Heywood, winding our way through a host of nostalgic stations. The journey takes us through the scenic Irwell Valley with its beautiful rural panoramas and picture postcard villages, passing over viaducts and through tunnels. Afterwards we head to the traditional market town of Bury, sitting pretty on the River Irwell. Discover the independent boutiques, stop off at one of the many cafés to enjoy a local delicacy like Bury Black Pudding and Manchester Tarts, or head to Bury Transport Museum to delve into the industrial history of the North West and admire the beautifully-restored vehicles.
