Harry Williams Riverside Stadium

The home of Bury FC sits just off the main drag in Bury, Lancashire - a proper football ground where you can feel the weight of the club's history the moment you walk through the gates. Harry Williams Riverside Stadium holds around 12,500 people, and on match days it's got that electric atmosphere you'd expect from a dedicated fanbase. The ground overlooks the River Irwell, which gives it a bit of character most modern stadiums lack.

This is absolutely for football fans first and foremost. If you're not bothered about the sport, there's not much to keep you here long-term. But if you're a supporter - whether of Bury or just keen on visiting different grounds - it's worth timing a visit around a fixture. Tours aren't always available, so check ahead before making the trip. The ground's had its ups and downs over the years, and that story matters to people who follow the club.

Staying at either Dearden Wood or the highly-rated Burrs Country Park Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite puts you within easy reach. Both are barely two miles away, making it straightforward to base yourself there and catch a match without the hassle of driving far. Bury itself has enough going on - decent pubs, shops, decent enough town amenities - to make a longer stay worthwhile rather than just treating it as a quick stadium visit.
