I'm off to Ramsbottom tomorrow to visit a shop and want to get a nice coffee and cake while we are there. Can anyone recommend a good cafe?

There are a few cafes along the main street, all of them look to do good business, alas I cannot vouch for their wares......I have only noticed them as we pass by on the bus to Bury

what time is the last bus back from bury ? thought about going on the bus one saturday but presumed the bus back might be too early i.e. before teatime
 
Jokes aside I've heard it is a good chippy and reasonable price.. bread and a cuppa included.

It is a good chippy, I always enjoy my dinner there when I go over to Ramsbottom.

The little cafe just a bit further up the hill has very limited seating but does a decent meal, I have poached egg on toast there and she always does it to my liking.

I only ate once in the pub on the corner near the station and won't be going back.
 
is Ramsbottom an actual place ? , thought it was only a bus stop somewhere before Strangways on the Ribble X13/23 from Gods country 'Hyndburn/Arrod /Accrington' to Manchester .
remember meeting lots lasses from Bacup on the Blackpool/St,Annes Sand-dunes but never ever remember if I met a lass from Ramsbottom anywhere ever :confused: :confused:
 
If you have time Fra -may i suggest you pop into the local art gallery there. My Aunt, Diane Chaffer -who lives in Accy- has an exhibition on at the moment of her paintings of Abruzzo and Tuscany, worth having a look!

is it a town /village /or UDC ....... seem to remember some s#it hole place in the valley with a big sign saying "Fustian works " not sure where I was coming from or going to ;) :confused: :confused:
 
That chippy is a good chippy, and my niece works there too, I lived in Rammy (tups arse, well done Jaysay for getting that right) for 27 years, the chippy on the main road near the bus stop is also good and has seating through the back, there are a few eating places and most of them good, the best pub food will probably still be the Duckworth arms or the fishermans retreat, both up at shuttleworth which would be a short taxi trip from the centre, I can assure you most of you would not want to walk up Peel Brow! :d
It is said that the name Ramsbottom is the reason there are no people there who worship rama, don't know how true that is, but I do know that there are few foreigners and that helps keep the property prices extortionate!

It is a Town, with several Villages, Stubbins, Strongstry, Edenfield, Shuttleworth, Chatterton, Holcolmbe and Summerseat to name a few.
 
It had it's own railway station, bus fleet etc
"Ramsbottom is a town in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, Greater Manchester, England. It is situated on the course of the River Irwell, in the West Pennine Moors. Historically within Lancashire, it is located 3.9 miles (6.3 km) north-northwest of Bury, and 12 miles (19 km) north-northwest of Manchester. At the time of the 2001 census Ramsbottom had a population of 14,635."
The name Ramsbottom is believed to derive from the Old English words ramm and botm, meaning "valley of the ram". Ramsbottom is described as a "thriving market town in spectacular surroundings". Its Victorian architecture, Pennine landscape, its industrial heritage and the heritage East Lancashire Railway station contribute to cultural tourism in the town."
