Prestwich Forest Park
3 miles (5 km)
Enjoy a peaceful walk or cycle in this pretty country park in Bury. The park covers an area of approximately 500 acres and includes some lovely woodland trails and a waterside path along the River Irwell.
Prestwich Forest is located on the Irwell Sculpture Trail and right next to Clifton Country Park so there is scope for continuing your outing if you have time.
Philips Park is located at the eastern end of Prestwich Forest and contains an excellent mountain bike track - see video below for details.
You can continue your walking on the circular Bury Walk which visits the local canal, the River Irwell Sculpture Trail and Elton Reservoir.
