Information About

Clayton Brook






Clayton Brook is served by many bus routes, the main one connecting the village to Preston or Bolton.

There is a good mix of residential properties, approximately half of the 4,000 plus properties are rented with the landlord now being Places for People. Clayton Brook was originally built in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It hosts a public house The Clayton Brook (aka the Flying Bottle), several primary schools, two churches and other amenities one would expect in a small town. The village centre is only 10 minutes walk from a large 24 hour supermarket. The local wildlife preserve is Cuerden Valley park, and there are several public footpaths within the vicinity taking walkers to a variety of green destinations.

Clayton Brook is known locally for its vast council housing estate and medium rise blocks of flats. There has been much trouble with youth crime and vandalism. To counter this a curfew is now in place whereby no more than three individuals below the age of 18 may congregate in any one place.
