High in the Pennines above Wardle village, the area around Watergrove Reservoir includes walking trails with spectacular views, bird watching, fishing and a link to the Pennine Bridleway. The open moorland above Watergrove makes for a more rugged landscape than the lower valleys.
The area's mixture of moorland, young woodland, wetland and rough pasture - and the reservoir itself - offers a large variety of habitats and a fascinating wealth of archaeological remains.
This area is much appreciated by outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.
On the A58 between Rochdale and Littleborough, approximately 2 miles from Rochdale, take Wardle Road (signposted Watergrove) at the mini roundabout.
Bus services 456 and 458 from Rochdale bus station, and 458 from Littleborough, to Wardle village. Half mile walk to Watergrove.
