Roddlesworth Reservoirs

Highlight • Trail

Often reservoirs are surrounded by rather desolate hills with few trees. Happily, the trio of reservoirs here on the River Roddlesworth are somewhat different! Surrounded by beautiful mature deciduous woodland these paths are perfect for a relaxed ride.

Woodland Trail by Lower Roddlesworth Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The woodland next to the Lower Roddlesworth Reservoir is perfect for cycling through with its tall mature deciduous trees towering above. The woods truly come to life in the summer …

View of Belmont Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

The views here are lovely and if you are lucky you will see sheep, Goat, cow and Bulls. Also there is a small pond to wild swim near here in warmer weather.

Singletrack Gravel Path

Highlight • Trail

This singletrack runs adjacent to the main road. It is quite hilly and takes a bit of effort to ride through. The surfaces are compact and it is good to ride on

Ice Cream Chute Downhill Trail

Highlight • MTB Park

Horrobin Embankment

The Horrobin embankment separates the upper and lower Rivington Reservoirs. It carries Horrobin Lane across the reservoir, providing a useful link for a walk. The reservoirs were built to supply water to Liverpool.

Sunrise View in Cuerden Valley Park

A great alternative to the road. The park is paved most of the way so is suitable for all types of bikes, however there are some short gravel sections.
