Located 9 miles to the north of Manchester city centre, Bury really is the perfect place to take a break. Just 20 minutes from Manchester by metrolink, the borough offers a delightful mix of town and country, stretching from open Pennine Moorland or picturesque valleys to the bustling streets of the traditional market town of Bury itself.

There's loads of things to keep you occupied in the Bury region, like the historic steam locomotives of The East Lancashire Railway and the many country parks and reservoirs with walking trails. It really is a rambler's ideal stop, and the beautiful Holcombe Hill, above Ramsbottom to the north of the borough, should be climbed for the view stretching over the whole of Greater Manchester, and parts of Lancashire.

We've listed our Bury hotels by their distance to the town centre statue of Sir Robert Peel (the Bury-born Prime Minister who introduced the Police Force), which sits proudly in front of Bury Parish Church..
