Strinesdale is situated on the A62 between Oldham and Delph. Rochdale is to the north and Oldham to the south.
Strinesdale is an area of water and woodland covering approximately 40 acres. In 1991, the reservoirs were drained and replaced by two smaller lakes with the old reservoirs being planted with trees and grassland. The original reservoirs were built in 1828 and the date stone can be seen at Upper Strinesdale.
Strinesdale got its name from the Old English 'Strine' meaning boundary, as the old Lancashire/ Yorkshire boundary ran through the middle of the site.
Herons and kestrels can be seen on the lakeside and as the woodland develops it will provide shelter for animals and birds and many varieties of wild flowers.
