About the Irwell Sculpture Trail
The Irwell Sculpture Trail is a 30 mile (mainly walking) route from Salford Quays to Bacup up the Irwell Valley. It currently has more than 30 sculptures along its scenically-varied route. An ideal way to see the sculptures is to connect your visit with one of the area’s many attractions.
