I took the opportunity recently of exploring the local area. Together with my son and his dog Ben, we went for a walk around the Blackstone Edge Reservoir. Blackstone Edge Reservoir is a reservoir in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. It is close to Blackstone Edge and the border with Calderdale, West Yorkshire.
Winter is a magical time to explore the great outdoors, and what better way to do so than by taking a walk around a reservoir? Not only will you get some fresh air and exercise, but you'll also be treated to some stunning scenery.
When walking around a reservoir in the winter, it's important to dress in warm layers and wear waterproof footwear. The weather can be unpredictable, so it's always best to be prepared.
One of the best things about walking around a reservoir in the winter is the tranquility. With fewer visitors around, you'll be able to take in the beauty of the surroundings in peace. The bare trees and frosty grass create a picturesque winter wonderland, and if you're lucky, you might even spot some wildlife such as otters, moorhens and many more.
As you make your way around the reservoir, keep an eye out for any ice or slippery surfaces. The paths can be a little more slippery in the winter, so take your time and be extra cautious.
Walking around a reservoir in the winter is also a great opportunity to take some beautiful photographs. With the low-lying sun casting long shadows and the frosty air creating a misty atmosphere, your photos are sure to turn out stunning.
Finally, after your walk, warm up with a hot drink and a slice of cake in the café or visitor center that is often located on the edge of the reservoir. It's the perfect way to finish your winter walk and it will be a great way to end your journey.
Overall, a winter walk around a reservoir is a fantastic way to get out of the house and enjoy the beauty of nature. So, wrap up warm, lace up your boots, and head out to explore your local reservoir this winter.
