Overview

The walk now starts at the main car park of Turton and Entwistle reservoir  and we head past the Strawbury Duck before passing Entwistle station, Wayoh Reservoir and Turton Bottoms. We then head for Turton tower and a toilet stop before climbing up onto Turton Heights, following the Witton Weavers Way. Our route then drops down to Dimple, through the Moss side plantation and a short stretch of the Blackburn Rd. Our return is a gentle stroll along the reservoir
