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.

Important Notice

Cold Weather

After a few freezing cold days in the North West, it looks like the temperature is beginning to rise.

As the weather warms up over the next few days, any frozen pipes in your home will begin to thaw. When this happens, some of your pipes may leak or burst. It's worth taking some steps now to be prepared just in case this happens to you.

Check your pipes in any cold places such as the loft or garage - can you spot any water dripping from the pipe?
Find your stop tap, which is usually under the kitchen sink and turn it clockwise to turn off the water.
Turn off your heating, open all your taps to drain the system quickly.
Soak up any escaping water with towels.
Check with your home insurance company to see if you’re covered for leaks and bursts or call a plumber.
If you need to find a plumber in your area visit www.watersafe.org.uk
If water has leaked near your electrics switch them off at the mains.

Please think about your family, friends or any vulnerable neighbours and share this information with them too.
