Overview

This is a relatively gentle walk taking in 3 of Bolton's reservoirs.

Starting at Jumbles reservoir we follow part of the Rotary Way before crossing over at the bottom and heading up to Turton Tower. We then follow the Witton Weavers way  before dropping down to Turton and Entwistle Reservoir. We cross over at the bottom of Yarnsdale, negotiating a boggy section before a gentle climb up onto the moors. We drop down to Entwistle station and then on to Wayoh Reservoir, Turton Bottoms and a pretty river walk before joining Jumbles.
