The Greater Manchester village where no-one can get hold of you for days

While these pretty cottages look like they belong on a postcard, they can actually be found on the outskirts of Greater Manchester.

Just three miles north of Bolton lies the picturesque village of Barrow Bridge. The quaint village has bags of character and charm thanks to its cosy cottages and rural feel.

The area is home to an abundance of nature including wildflowers and fungi which attracts visitors from all over. It's also famous for its 63 steps, a staircase mill workers would climb every day to get to work. Today, they lead visitors up onto the beautiful West Pennine Moors.
