The Greater Manchester village of just 150 people that's like always being on holiday - with just one downside

Five miles north of Bury sits a tiny picture-postcard village with a population of just 150 people. Affetside is a peaceful village with quaint cottages dotted along one long country lane.

While the village offers stunning walks and views of rolling green hills, it’s relatively isolated – with the only local amenity being The Pack Horse pub.

“The best part is the people who live here,” Dianne Murphy says. “It's a small village so we all know each other. We do events throughout the year and we all do our bit. We all work together and we have some really nice events where we raise money.”
