Nature and Parks in Manchester

"Take a 20-minute train ride northeast from Manchester Victoria to Smithy Bridge station and find a seaside substitute in the form of Hollingworth Lake. If you’re inclined to be energetic, activities like canoeing and windsurfing can be done through the Link4Life center — but the walk around the reservoir is also an easy and pleasant 2.5 miles. It’s a charming place that was once thought of as the “weavers’ seaport” because it was a quick getaway for local workers who didn’t have the cash to reach the seaside. There’s even a little fish and chip shop, an ice cream parlor, and an amusement arcade for an authentically English holiday experience." - MATADOR_NETWORK

First of all, Don't get stung if you can by parking in the pubs car park, there's one just after it which is half the price but normally pretty full so try to get there early to secure a cheaper spot!! Hollingworth lake is a great little spot with plenty of activities from Boat rides, Fishing playgrounds for kids and even hides for bird watching or photography. It took me about 2 hours to walk around completely at a slowish pace talking photos as I went even bumping into a fellow photographer for a chat. About half way round there's a little cafe with a seating area which is perfect if you take children with you to give them a break.

A nice little lake for an outing. It’s nice for a couple of hours and there are cafes and ice cream places around. There are also quite a few paid car parks available.

Love this place. A simple walk around the lake and a cafe in the middle. I used to go as a child and to take my daughter is very special. Parking gets full quickly and it can get busy but it's a fab day out.

A great walk at a very beautiful location. It is honestly a lovely walk whether it's with others or by yourself. The lake is large, the hills in the background give it a great view and very picturesque. There are decent food, drink and ice creams places within and across the road. Parking wise can be tough at times especially when the weather is good but there is a car park at the country park bit and some side roads too. But well worth a visit if you're planning.

Stopped off here in May 2024 for a leg stretch. Will be back for a good walk this summer.
