Strinesdale is a reservoir situated on the A62 between Oldham and Delph in Greater Manchester, England.
Strinesdale is an area of water and woodland covering approximately 40 acres (162,000 m2).
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.
[citation needed] The site is now used for walking, orienteering and fishing.
[1] Strinesdale derives its name from the Old English "strine" meaning boundary in connotation to the old Lancashire–Yorkshire boundary that ran through the middle of the site; since 1974 the whole area lies in Greater Manchester.
