Tandle Hill Country Park | 11 October 2020

Leader 

Patrick Pope    

 

This is a 6 mile circular walk, which takes in part of the Rochdale Canal and Tandle Hill Country Park. It is a pleasant scenic walk, especially at this time of year. It is mainly flat, on good paths, but with a couple of steep ascents. It may be muddy in places after all the recent rain, so it is advisable to wear sturdy, waterproof shoes. There will be a short stop for lunch at the Country Park War Memorial. You will need to bring your own refreshments.

 

Meet for 12:30 at the front of Mills Hill Station (M24 2EH).

 

Mills Hill Station is on the A669, Oldham Rd, half way between Middleton and Chadderton town centres. It can be reached via the M60, Junction 19, (leave the M62 at J18 if taking that route) then follow Manchester Old Rd (A576) through Middleton towards Oldham on the A669. Park on Oldham Rd near to the station or on Middleton Rd (A669) just past the station through the 2nd set of lights.

You can also take the train from Victoria Station to Mills Hill (free for pass holders, £5.50 off peak return for others). The 12:02 would get you to Mills Hill at 12:13, with a return train at 16:11.
