# It takes 20.

Prestwich is full of points of interest, historic sights and some of the best independent businesses around, and it’s all within walking and riding distance. From St Mary’s Church to Heaton Park, Drinkwater Park, the high streets of Bury New Road and Bury Old Road, and the streets, cafés and parks in between.

## Five routes on the map

-   Tram Stop Loop
-   Prestwich Tram and Bury New Road Loop
-   The Clough Loop
-   Philips Park Loop
-   Prestwich Tram to Heaton Park

Look out for the route signs around the village.

## It takes each of us

Know a neighbour or a friend who might want to walk with you? Knock on and invite them for a stroll, and maybe a coffee too. Sometimes a simple invitation is all it takes to help someone get out and about.
