Welcome to Radcliffe

Radcliffe is a town located in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, Greater Manchester. It is situated on the River Irwell and is surrounded by the towns of Bury, Bolton, and Prestwich. The town has a rich history dating back to the Roman times, and it was once a thriving industrial center with a strong textile industry. Today, Radcliffe is a bustling town with a population of over 30,000 people.

One of the main attractions in Radcliffe is the Radcliffe Tower, which is a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The tower dates back to the 15th century and was once part of a larger manor house. It is one of the few remaining examples of medieval architecture in the area and is a popular tourist destination. The tower is open to the public on certain days of the year, and visitors can climb to the top for stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Radcliffe is also home to a number of parks and green spaces, including Close Park and Red Bank Fields. These parks offer a range of recreational activities, including walking, cycling, and picnicking. Close Park is particularly popular with families, as it has a children's play area and a skate park. The town also has a number of sports clubs, including football, rugby, and cricket teams, and there are several gyms and fitness centers for those who prefer indoor activities.
