Hollingworth Lake Walk, Saturday 30th August 2025

Built originally as the main water source for the Rochdale Canal during the 19th century, Hollingworth Lake was later developed as a tourist resort in the 1860s. It's a man-made lake that spans 118 acres. 

The lake soon became an attraction for those living nearby and in Victorian times it was known as "The Weighvers' Seaport".

Hoping that we have a nice summers day we intend on walking from Littleborough cricket club to Hollingworth lake approx. 1.5 mils and then round the lake taking in the scenery.  There are plenty of food options and pubs to call in and have refreshments.  We will them take an alternative route back to Littleborough via Ealees and then then call in for some food at the Littleborough Cricket club were we can chill and relax. Music and food will be served

Estimated total miles covered will be 4.5 and the class of walk will be easy no major hills.

Cost £8.00 per head for the buffet meal at the Cricket club.

Meet at the Cricket club car park at 11.00  free parking.  If you are travelling by Train we can meet you at the train station in the centre of the village.
