A bit about the history of Hollingworth Lake
The lake was first constructed to serve as the primary water source for Rochdale Canal, but in the 1860s it turned into a well- liked tourist destination.
Early in the 20th century, it started to lose popularity as a tourist attraction and was used as a training camp for the second World War.
Following World War II, Rochdale Council acquired the reservoir and boating rights and designated the surrounding areas as a country park in 1974, giving rise to the name Hollingworth Lake and Country Park, which is now a popular tourist destination once again.
I can’t believe I didn’t visit this location until earlier this year. It is one of the most beautiful places to grab a moment’s peace and quiet and another great find on the outskirts of my city.
I’d say this is a great place for those living or staying in Manchester seeking tranquility, and it’s only a 40-minute drive away from the city centre
Additional information
There are plenty of facilities here, including its very own caravan park. Take a look here to find out more and make the most of your day trip here.
