Local Dog Walks

Healey Dell Nature Reserve
This Is A Very Picturesque Walk. There Are Several Different Routes You Can Take Depending On What Sort Of Walk You Want To Do. Dogs Are Allowed Both On And Off Leads, But I Keep Mine On Due To There Being Some Long Drops Down Into The Waterfall And River. There Is A Tea Room Which Is Open Most Days. Parking Is Free But The Road In Is Very Bumpy So Take It Steady. 41 Market St Whitworth Rochdale OL12 8RW 0.88 miles
