A nature reserve and coarse fishery, Orrell Water Park is open all-year round for residents, visitors and day ticket fishing. Beautiful woodland surrounds two disused reservoirs and is home to a diverse group of birds and insects, with over 100 bird species and a wide variety of butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies recorded. Trying to have a break or eat a sandwich is impossible here due to the ducks, geese and swans all trying to get to your food. A beautiful place with a coffee shop at the top which sells a few cakes etc but no toilets.

Great little view point for the dam.

Lovely viewing spot on a beautiful day

Beautiful lake to visit with a nice coffee shop at the top of the hill.

I've only just moved to this area. It's so beautiful for me and my dog for our local walk.

Carr Mill Dam originally provided hydroelectric power to a grist mill. It is the largest body of water in the district. The water area was expanded in the 1750s for navigation on the Sankey Canal and later for the railway (London and North Western Railway). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carr_Mill_Dam

Good spot for a break on your ride

Carr Mill Reservoir was a small mill pond in 1786. It was enlarged at least twice since then to supply water to the Sankey Brook Navigation and then by the railway company during the railway’s construction. Today it's used as a powerboat racing lake and a fishing lake. The trails around the edge make for a very nice walk, not far from the city.
