Hollingworth Lake Country Park and Visitor Centre

In Victorian times Hollingworth Lake was known as the "The Weighvers' Seaport". Now once again visitors can enjoy many outdoor attractions and an excellent Visitor Centre. Spanning 118 acres with the dramatic backdrop of Blackstone Edge, the lake is one of the most popular days out in the area.

With boating, nature reserve, trails, events, guided walks, Visitor Centre, community arts, environmental exhibitions, play and picnic areas- it is the perfect day out for all the family.
