For those that like to keep fit there’s Howe Bridge Leisure Centre and Tyldesley Swimming Pool as well as a number of golf courses and a cricket ground, all within easy reach. In the evening a variety of cafés bars and restaurants in the surrounding area cater for just about every taste. All this makes Gadbury Fold the perfect place to live.Shopping is good on the High Street. Park for free and enjoy the selection of well known and more traditional shops, as well as a market every Friday. For the future, work is well underway to transform Atherton’s shopping centre, restore the historical town square and divert vehicles away from the centre to preserve the charm of the town. There’s a real community spirit in nearby Atherton, with good support facilities including health and community centres, a residents association and day nursery. What’s more schooling is good, with a catchment area that caters for all ages.
