The waterfalls and ruins hidden in woods an hour from Greater Manchester
With spring upon us it’s the ideal time to pop on your walking boots and explore the gorgeous countryside which surrounds Greater Manchester. There’s so many walks to do on our doorstep, from breathtaking reservoir routes to moorland hikes.
There are lots of trails you can take through the woods and you can easily spend several hours exploring the area. Hidden among the densely packed trees are the remains of Hollinshead Hall, a manor house owned by the wealthy Hollinshead family. Although not much of the house is left today, you can still see the well-preserved remains of the hall’s well house. It’s a rather imposing building with metal bars at the windows and, even though you can’t go inside, you can still take a peek at the interior.
For a more challenging walk you have the option to head up Cartridge Hill towards Darwen Tower where you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding area. Or you can head northwards and follow the circular walks around Upper Roddlesworth Reservoir and then Lower Roddlesworth reservoir.
