About

Holyrood ward lies in the north of Bury town centre, encompassing a mix of residential and commercial zones. The area is primarily defined by its housing, ranging from Victorian terraces to more modern developments. Key roads like Rochdale Road and Angouleme Way serve as major thoroughfares, connecting the ward to the wider borough. Residential streets branch off these main routes, with local amenities such as shops and schools integrated into the neighbourhoods.

The ward includes the significant open space of Clarence Park, providing recreational ground for residents. Industrial and business units are situated particularly along the northern edges, near the boundary with Heap Bridge. Holyrood is also home to Bury's central mosque, a prominent community institution located on Parr Lane. The ward's proximity to the town centre means it functions as both a residential district and an access point for central Bury.
