Let's Go for a Walk in Greater Manchester…
Rivington Pike by Georges Lane (and back)
A relatively easy walk to Rivington Pike and back, although some may find it steep in places the views are often spectacular.
Ingleton Waterfalls Trail
Probably the best waterfall walk on a managed trail - payment required but it’s worth it for the well-kept viewing platforms and stairs up the rocky cliffs.
Brinscall Woods (Hatch Brook Waterfall Walk)
A short easy loop around Brinscall Woods and ruins with views down the Hatch Brook waterfall and optional stream scramble to view from the foot of the falls.
Around Upper Rivington Reservoir
A short and easy stroll around the Upper Rivington Reservoir with views of Winter Hill and the Pike, a possible Roman road and a couple of ornamental waterfalls after rain.
Harrock Old Windmill
A short walk up to the ruins of historic Harrock Old Windmill on Harrock Hill with a short loop to the summit for views.
Musbury Heights Quarry Explore
A little walk up to the old quarry ruins on Musbury Heights, with optional exploring.
Calf Hey Reservoir Walk
A pleasant and easy stroll around Calf Hey Reservoir taking in good views and ruined farmsteads.
Dean Clough Reservoir Walk
A short and easy stroll round the Dean Clough Reservoir and back up through the small pine woods.
Roddlesworth Woods Walk
A short walk that’s good with dogs, around the Roddlesworth Woods and down the river below Halliwell Fold Scar.
Roddlesworth Reservoirs
A short walk with a bit of woodland, beside the reservoirs at Roddlesworth with optional bridge over waterfall cascade - weather and water-levels permitting.
