A patch of post-industrial, peat moorland to the north of Bolton and confusingly, some distance from the area of Bolton we call Turton today.
It’s a great area to explore with plenty of industrial archaeology, wide open moorland with an abundance of wildlife and some prehistoric remains.

The remains of the old Hanging Stone on Turton Moor.
Some of the best looking reservoirs in the area are here, historic monuments, wide open moorland vistas and at least a couple of prehistoric monuments.
There is a chain of three reservoirs in the Turton area with good walking routes and car park facilities and a cafe at the Jumbles reservoir.
