Walk Highlights

Nearest Town:
Bolton
Distance:
2.40 miles
Time:
1.00 hours
Difficulty:
Easy
Terrain:

A varied landscape of well-maintained compacted gravel paths, wider forest tracks, and some narrower, more natural woodland trails. The main paths around the reservoir are generally flat, but some sections, particularly on the western side or if venturing into adjacent woodlands, involve gentle inclines and declines. Expect paths to be muddy and puddly in parts, especially after rain or in wetter seasons. Sturdy, comfortable, waterproof walking boots are highly recommended for both you and your dog.

Accessibility: The main circular path around Entwistle Reservoir is generally wide, relatively flat, and on a firm surface, making it fairly accessible for most users, including those with robust pushchairs. However, some of the informal paths leading into the surrounding woodland or connecting to other reservoirs are less even, with tree roots and potential for mud, making them less suitable for those with significant mobility issues.

Accessibility:
Yes
