Wooded valley reserve with ponds, reed beds and a meandering stream—great for intimate landscape, wetland and wildlife shots. Early morning or late afternoon light enhances mist, reflections and bird activity. Easily reached from Middleton; small car park on Rochdale Rd and short walking paths (muddy in wet weather). No entry fee; respect local wildlife and keep dogs under control.
