Hollingworth Lake Water Activity Centre — Attraction in Rochdale

A late review... Had a lovely walk round the lake on a busy sunny Sunday last year. Had a lovely meal at a restaurant, can't remember the name of it but I enjoyed the best ever chicken fajitas. I enquired at the club house about hiring a windsurfing board and sail, didn't have the RYA certificates for level 1 and 2 so I wasn't able to hire one, which was a shame, I'm sure if they had let me rig one up they would have known that I can do it.
