Overview

A varied and scenic walk taking in the views of three different reservoirs - Turton & Entwistle, Jumbles and Wayoh.  

We will also venture up to the Witton Weavers Way and down to the river at Turton Bottoms.

All good paths, some hilly sections, but could be muddy, so ensure to wear appropriate footwear.

We will stop part-way round for a coffee stop at the Turton Tower Woodland cafe, where you can purchase drinks if needed, and where toilets are available.

Dogs welcome if kept on a lead.
