A level 20 minute walking path round a wild bird water sanctuary. A bit muddy and bitterly cold in winter and can get overgrown in summer, it gives give delightful views over open water. Expect a lot of wet dogs off the lead. No facilities other than car parking and the odd bench, but the Hope and Anchor pub at the bottom end provides a warm welcome.
5. Fairy Glen
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 220 reviews
Serene forest area featuring tree-shaded hiking trails & a stream with picturesque cascades. However please do not drive to visit this site. There is no car park at Fairy Glen and on-street parking is very limited. Local police will penalise people who park illegally/irresponsibly on the surrounding roads. If you are looking for a more suitable family day out in the local area then the scenic Beacon Country Park has ample parking and a wide range of facilities catering for all ages.

It's just a little 20 minute walk, with a small waterfall and pleasant farmland nearby, lots of wild garlic in summer. I live nearby. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there otherwise unless you can combine with something else. There are no facilities or information boards.

The weather has picked up,i hate walking in the rain,so after setting off from Chadderton,I'd decided on Tandle Hills. It takes me just over an hour of walking to get there,from Royton, Rochdale road looks so long,then you turn onto Tandle Hill road & that's another long walk,it may have been cold,but by now i've warmed up. Reaching the gates,my final goal was the monument up at the top,this looks out all across Oldham,Rochdale,Manchester & a far,especially on a good clear day.(this wasn't one) Then it's only one way & that's down,i took the steps,careful when wet,when you reach the bottom, still a few different ways to go. On this occasion while i was heading back,i had two deer run out in front of me,i never knew they were up there.. Making my way back,plenty of others walking & using the park. There is a cafe,with outdoor seating,but today it was closed,take your own it's probably cheaper.. Overall at this current time it's a place to let your problems & thoughts blow in the breeze.

Reviewed By michaelkK9059OT - Stockport, United Kingdom
A lovely spot for a morning or afternoon out, so peaceful yet so near the centre of Stockport and Reddish. Lots of bird-life on the reservoirs. It's an easy hour's stroll from the end of Stockport precinct, a bit less if you start near Tesco Extra in Portwood, don't miss the spectacular Harrison's Weir. Even if it's raining most of the walk from town is under trees. Small cafe and visitor centre run by volunteers, and a more extensive tea-room on the road up to Reddish. You can walk from Stockport then get a bus back every few minutes from the main road at the top of the hill or vice-versa.

We have been wanting to adopt a cat for a few months now. We chose Bleakholt because of the fantastic service they provide. The sanctuary is the perfect place for animals to be cared for. The enclosures were extremely clean, cosy and spacious. The cats we saw looked happy and well kept. We decided on a gorgeous black cat named Leo by their recommendation. We are thrilled to bits with him and so happy to take him home. Thank you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A beautiful place to walk the dog and take the family. Wigan's first Local Nature Reserve. A place of calm and tranquility. Semi natural ancient woodland with the Borsdane brook running through its length. Well managed by the Council and volunteers from Borsdane Friends Group. Lots of organised nature walks throughout the year. A popular Nature Trail with tree carvings to spot. Well recommended!
