Anglezarke

Here are some iPhone shots taken on a short walk around Anglezarke Reservoir in Chorley. This reservoir is the largest in Rivington and built in the 1850s to supply water to Liverpool originally but now feeds Wigan.

We set off late afternoon and luckily managed to park on Knowsley Lane. The route around the lake is about 4.5 miles in length and was quieter than expected considering it was a bank holiday weekend. Below is a shot of the route from the Viewranger app.

From the west side of the reservoir you can see over towards Rivington Pike and Winter Hill.

 

The photos were taken with the Bracket Mode App theme edited with TrueHDR, Snapseed and Filterstorm.

 

Below is an edit using the Dramatic Black and White App

The walk takes you through a wooded area where we saw the first Bluebells of the year.

The reservoir is very low and you could walk along the waters edge. The hosepipe ban will be here soon looking at this.

I have been informed that Richard Skeltons album "Landings" is about Anglezarke.
