High Rid Reservoir
This small reservoir in Bolton is a nice place for an easy walk.
There's a circular footpath running around the lake for a distance of about 1 mile. On the way there's some lovely views over the water to the surrounding countryside. Also look out for wildlife including deer, fox, buzzard, velvet scoter and goldeneye.
