Wayoh Reservoir
Off Hob Lane, Edgworth, Turton, BL7 0PS · Bolton & Bury
A 3-mile circular path rings this 1876 reservoir that once supplied Bolton's drinking water, with the impressive nine-arch Armsgrove Viaduct crossing its eastern arm. It's an easy family walk close to Edgworth village and links via footpaths to Turton and Entwistle Reservoir next door. You can even arrive by train - Entwistle station is a short walk from the northern end.
Spark Hub tip: The path is stony and muddy in places, and Entwistle is a request stop - tell the guard if you want the train to stop.
