Tandle Hill Country Park

Reviewed By stevenb108 - Oldham, United Kingdom

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.

Odeon Oldham

Reviewed By harryzac - Oldham, United Kingdom

This cinema is really good. Oldham needs it. The staff are great and really friendly and helpful. Why do you go to the cinema? To see a film obviously. Then why, oh why, do complete idiots turn up and decide their miserable lives are much more important than the film everyone else is trying to watch. Wednesday evening; The Joker. Two people arrived late, talked loudly to each other continually. We’re sssh’d...no effect. One person stood up and told them to be quiet....no effect. One lady went out to get a member of staff... no effect. Then it all kicked off and I got management. They were eventually ejected shouting at us (the people who wanted to watch a film) that they were sure we all had miserable, boring relationships. Apparently they wanted a refund for their tickets on their way out. Whoever you are, if you want to be a source of entertainment, train and be an actor or do it at home please and get on with your boring, miserable relationship in the discomfort of your own surroundings. Bravo to the staff for ejecting them and may you never succumb to bullies.

Reviewed By markt705 - Bury, United Kingdom

When on a visit this Sunday. Very clean and the gardens and plants were nice. The glasshouse and observatory were being done up and will be lovely when finished. A boating lake with cafe was very busy and I noticed a lot of statues of local people in this park. Definitely worth a visit.
