If you live and work in Manchester, then you may have heard that breathtaking countryside and beauty spots can be found within easy reach of the city centre. Come walking with Social Circle to explore some of the best walking routes in the area , and meet some new people along the way.
The Route:
Situated on the edge of Oldham and the Peak District National Park, Dove Stone Reservoir is a spectacular area popular with visitors and for family days out. Dove Stone is open all year round, with the public toilets open dawn till dusk. Situated on the A635 leading out of Greenfield towards Holmfirth, the site is managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) in partnership with Oldham Council, United Utilities and the Peak District National Park (who have a ranger station on site).
We will be walking around the reservoir at a steady pace, its easy & flat, approx. 5 miles.
