A nice flat tour around Entwistle Reservoir, the path is gravel and slightly uneven in places but is a suitable route for most buggies, and dogs too. Pockets of water do collect on the path after heavy rain but its fairly dry in summer. Free parking available and the Strawbury Duck is a lovely stop for food/drinks afterwards.
