Geocache Description:

Short and easy walk in a country park. Parking at N53° 36.412 W002° 18.134 or N53° 36.607 W002° 18.310. If you take a dog, please use the poop bins as necessary; unfortunately not everyone does!

Burrs Country Park in Bury is the former site of Burrs Mill and Higher Woodhill Mill, both built in 1792. The first car park is on the site of the latter. Nearby you can see the wheel pit built in 1850 to house one of the last and largest waterwheels in Britain. To the NW is the site of Burrs Mill which was associated with the Peel family, burrs being a type of millstone. The chimney, built around 1870, is still intact, as are the millworkers’ cottages which now house an activity centre. The aqueduct which channelled water from the Irwell is also intact. The Irwell Sculpture Trail passes through; you can see “Waterwheel” at the park entrance, “Picnic Area” near the chimney, and “Stone Cycle” on the other side of the feeder canal.
