Greenbooth Reservoir Circular Walk
This Is A Delightful Walk, Which I Came Across Today Whilst With A Friend And His Dog. It Is All On A Pathway Which Is Useful. There Are Some Quite Steep Rises And Descents. There Are 4 Reservoirs, All Linked And If You Take As Casual A Stroll As You Like And Go Round Each One Of Them, You Will Have Walked Around 4.3 Miles. Rochdale Lancashire OL12 7TQ 3.49 miles

Healey Dell Nature Reserve
This Is A Very Picturesque Walk. There Are Several Different Routes You Can Take Depending On What Sort Of Walk You Want To Do. Dogs Are Allowed Both On And Off Leads, But I Keep Mine On Due To There Being Some Long Drops Down Into The Waterfall And River. There Is A Tea Room Which Is Open Most Days. Parking Is Free But The Road In Is Very Bumpy So Take It Steady. 41 Market St Whitworth Rochdale OL12 8RW 4.83 miles
