Welcome to Barrow Bridge

Barrow Bridge is a small village located in Greater Manchester, England. It is situated on the outskirts of Bolton and is known for its picturesque surroundings and historic landmarks. The village is surrounded by lush greenery and is home to several walking trails, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers.

One of the most notable landmarks in Barrow Bridge is the Barrow Bridge Viaduct. This impressive structure was built in the mid-19th century and spans over 300 meters across the valley. It was originally used to transport coal from the nearby mines to the Bolton and Bury Canal. Today, the viaduct is a popular spot for photographers and visitors who come to admire its impressive architecture and stunning views.

Another popular attraction in Barrow Bridge is the Barrow Bridge Village Hall. This historic building was originally built in the early 20th century and has since been restored to its former glory. It is now used as a community center and hosts a variety of events and activities throughout the year, including art exhibitions, concerts, and theater performances. The village hall is a testament to the rich history and culture of Barrow Bridge and is a must-visit for anyone interested in the area's heritage.
