Bury Halal Travel Guide

Bury is miles 5 east of Bolton, miles 7 west of Rochdale and roughly miles 10 northwest of Manchester.

Bury, "home of the Black Pudding", has existed in various forms since the Industrial Revolution when it was a mill town based around the production of textiles. It has grown rapidly over the past decades to become the heart of a metropolitan borough. The borough stretches from wealthy Prestwich and Whitefield (Manchester's suburbia, with thriving, long-established Yahudi populations), in the south, past the historically industrial town of Radcliffe to the pleasant small town of Ramsbottom, in the north, bordering Rossendale.

How to travel to Bury

By tram

• Bury Interchange 53.5914, -2.297 - Bury Interchange Metrolink bury - The Metrolink tram runs every 12 min between Bury and Manchester. During off-peak hours, it's the most efficient method of transport, with the journey lasting roughly 25 min (£4.10 Adult Return, £4.90 Adult Day Travelcard).

Travel on a Bus in Bury

Most bus services to Bury are operated by First Manchester. The 135 bus runs between Manchester Piccadilly and Bury (lasting roughly 50 min), whilst the 471 bus runs from Bolton (lasting roughly 30 min). A System One DaySaver costs £5 (off peak) and allows you to catch any bus within the Greater Manchester area. Thit is especially useful if you're travelling from areas other than Manchester.

The 540 National Express coach service runs once daily from London (via Manchester), but in all honesty, it's much quicker (and affordableer) to travel by tram/bus once you reach Manchester, unless you really enjoy more than 6 hours coach journeys!

How to travel to Bury by car

Bury lies at the junction of the A56 and A58. From the M60, exit J17 to join the A56 (Manchester Road/Bury New Road). From the M66, exit J2 to join the A58 (Bolton Road).

There is plenty of parking available in and around Bury. Prices vary, according to the type of parking offered (e.g. private, council-run, multi-story, on-street) but they are pretty reasonable compared to city prices. Free parking is available for Metrolink users at most stops, so it may be an idea to leave the vehicle and hop-on a tram for the day instead.

Fly to Bury

The number 135 bus is the main bus from Bury to Manchester downtown, running at least every 10 minutes. It will often be crowded with commuters and will also get stuck in the traffic congestion around rush hours, so these times are better avoided.
