A notable local feature is the Radcliffe Tower, the 15th-century remnant of a manor house, which stands as a scheduled ancient monument near the town centre. The area's infrastructure is supported by several primary schools and provides direct access to the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal towpath for walking and cycling.
