Jumbles Country Park

Jumbles Country Park was opened in 1971 by Queen Elizabeth II. Situated north of Bolton and easily accessible via public transport, and a car park on site, it is an ideal location to spend some time outdoors with the family.

Jumbles is a circular walk around the reservoir. The route is relatively easy and flat, with a few short climbs. Pushchairs and wheelchairs are suitable for around the reservoir itself.
