Welcome to Woodhey

Woodhey is a small village located in the Merseyside region of England. It is situated between the towns of Bury and Rochdale, and is known for its picturesque countryside and charming atmosphere. The village is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Grade II listed Woodhey Hall, which dates back to the 17th century. The hall is now used as a residential care home, but its stunning architecture and beautiful gardens are still admired by visitors to the area.

For those who prefer to travel by train, the nearest station is located in Bury, just a few miles away.

Woodhey is a close-knit community, with a range of local amenities and activities to enjoy. The village has a primary school, a post office, and a number of shops and pubs. There are also several parks and green spaces in the area, including the popular Burrs Country Park, which is just a short drive away.
