Explore the natural world

Moving to Greenmount Manor brings you close to nature. Not only are there lots of country walks from your new front door, but within half an hour you can explore the natural wonders of Hollins Vale Local Nature Reserve or the delightful Irwell Valley View. Cared for by the Woodland Trust, these seven acres offer a stroll by the river Irwell surrounded by nature.

Or take the family to enjoy a section or two of the Irwell Sculpture Trail. With 33 miles of routes linking heritage locations, art galleries and museums, the route from Bacup to Salford Quays features over 70 inspired sculptures. Closer to home are Burrs Country Park and Chesham Woods for the great outdoors or head uphill to Peel Tower and enjoy the panoramic views from the top
