With spring upon us it’s the ideal time to pop on your walking boots and explore the gorgeous countryside which surrounds Greater Manchester.
There’s so many walks to do on our doorstep, from breathtaking reservoir routes to moorland hikes. Nestled in the Lancashire countryside just east of Darwen is a beautiful woodland walk where you’ll find waterfalls and ruins hidden among the trees.
Roddlesworth Woods is nestled at the base of Darwen Moor and lies south of three reservoirs. There are lots of trails you can take through the woods and you can easily spend several hours exploring the area.
Hidden among the densely packed trees are the remains of Hollinshead Hall, a manor house owned by the wealthy Hollinshead family.
