Life in the stunning, secluded Greater Manchester village that has no shops or restaurants and feels like its 'own little world'
23.01.2022 - 11:05 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
At the top of a steep cobbled road just a few miles north of Bury lies one of the most isolated villages in Greater Manchester.
Tucked away beside the M66 is the idyllic hamlet of Mount Pleasant – a stunning settlement that feels like its very own little world.
A walk around the cluster of cottages in Nangreaves offers stunning views over the surrounding rolling hills.
The village green almost appears frozen in time with its beautiful stone paths and flickering street lamps.
But aside from the rows of quaint homes, the village has no shops or restaurants.
The settlement was once home to the Lord Raglan, a much-loved pub which shut its doors in October 2017.

The closure left those on Mount Pleasant without any local amenities – making it one of most isolated villages in the county.
Nonetheless, locals say the seclusion is a perk of living in the area.
“I love the peace and quiet,” resident Tina Slattery says as she walks her dog Millie across the village green.
“I love the countryside surrounding it and the wildlife we see up here.
“It’s a good community and there are good neighbours.
“It’s fantastic. We’re very lucky.
“I personally love being out the way of everything else.
“We’re not too far from Ramsbottom and within 10 minutes you can be within the busy areas of Bury. The motorway is really handy.
“Even though it’s isolated, it’s not too isolated.
“But once you hit those cobbles, you feel like you’re in your own little world.”
Initially created to house mill workers during the industrial revolution, Mount Pleasant is now a conservation area and thriving residential community.
