Hollingworth Lake, Recreational reservoir in Littleborough, United Kingdom.
The 130-acre Hollingworth Lake features a 2.5-mile circular path with multiple viewing areas for observing local water birds and wildlife species.
Built in 1800 to supply water to the Rochdale Canal, the reservoir transformed into a recreational destination after the railway arrival in 1839.
Local residents named this water body the Weighvers' Seaport during Victorian times, reflecting its status as a leisure destination for textile workers.
The Water Activity Centre provides instruction for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, and canoeing, with qualified instructors and safety equipment available.
The southwestern section maintains a dedicated nature reserve where boats cannot enter, creating protected zones for water birds and native species.
