Yarnsdale
Yarnsdale is a small area around a wooded valley where the Cadshaw Brook enters Turton and Entwistle Reservoir.
Once the site of quarrying with tramways along the banks of what is now the reservoir. Now a hiking and outdoor recreation area with mixed woodland overgrowing the remains of industry.
