Monday Walk 1st June 2026 Village Link Greenmount to Nangreaves.
The forecast was 95% heavy rain all day, so we were surprised when 16 people joined in this walk to Nangreaves following the Village Link. Leaving the Old School yard in fine weather, our route took us down Brandlesholme road, across fields, two main roads and a lane down to Summerseat. There we crossed the East Lancs., Bury to Rawtenstall railway line, then up through the fields before crossing Walmersley road and more fields up to Nangreaves, also called Mount Pleasant village.
Here we had our coffee stop and looked at some very interesting information sheets about the history of the village and the village mill, downloaded from the Bury Council website on why Nangreaves is a conservation area.
With the weather still fine, we made our way back to Greenmount via Bass House and Somersetshire, when the heavy rain started. We were all so thankful it hadn’t rained sooner, otherwise the high grass in all the fields would have saturated us.
