The access road to the nature reserve (Dell Road) from Shawclough Road (Healey Hotel) is closed due to subsidence. You can park part way down this road and access the reserve on foot, which is a 10 minute walk.

Access to the nature reserve car park, is via Whitworth Road (A671) onto Dell Road

Healey Dell is a beauty spot and wildlife sanctuary rich in industrial archaeology, 2 miles from Rochdale town centre on the way to Whitworth and Bacup. The River Spodden has carved its way through the woodlands down thousands of years, creating delightful scenery and spectacular waterfalls which once powered ancient corn, wool and cotton mills.
A disused 1800s railway line is now a nature trail with magnificent views from a 100-foot high viaduct.
The Healey Dell Heritage Centre now offers visitors a unique experience with its recently opened Victorian themed tea rooms with English cream teas served in vintage bone-china. The centre offers a permanent exhibition featuring a pictorial history of the Dell. There is a Fairy Grotto where children can meet the Healey Dell Fairy Godmother and so much more.
