burrs country park

As well as hosting a caravan club site, Burrs has lots to offer for a wide variety of people.

There are canoeing, kayaking and other water activities. There are lots of climbing, rope-based and adventure playground/obstacle course activities for the young at heart.

The site is of industrial heritage significance, once being the site of water and steam powered mills. It also offers a great vantage point to observe the trains of the East Lancashire Railway, which steam past at regular intervals.

The River Irwell flows through the park and attracts anglers as well as kayakers. It also provides a very attractive backdrop for walkers and dog-walkers.

The oldest remaining building in the grounds has been converted into a pub, "The Brown Cow".
