Simister is a small suburb in the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, Greater Manchester, England. Historically part of Lancashire, it is located between the districts of Prestwich, Rhodes and Langley. Although the village's proximity to Manchester means the residential population is mainly made up of commuters, the village has a rural feel with much agricultural activity.
==Transport== The village is located east of Simister Island, a major motorway interchange linking the M62, M66 and M60 motorways. Thousands of vehicles use this interchange daily, and the traffic noise is often regarded as a nuisance, though it is not considered a part of the village by residents. The main thoroughfare, Simister Lane, is frequently used as a rat run by cars travelling to and from Prestwich, Middleton and junction 19 of the M60.
