About Tandle Hill Country Park
Tandle Hill Country Park sits on Tandle Hill Road at Royton and is managed by Oldham Council. As a country park it is larger and more rural than the borough's town parks, with mature woodland and open countryside crossed by walking trails and an orienteering course, offering wide views over the surrounding area. Despite its countryside character, it includes a children's play area with sand play and a basket swing, so families with young children are well catered for alongside walkers and more active visitors. A cafe operates at the park most weekends and during school holidays, weather permitting, giving somewhere to pause for refreshments. Toilets are currently closed until further notice, so visitors should plan accordingly. Car parking is available for those arriving by car. Entry to the country park is free and it is open to the public. The blend of woodland, countryside walking, orienteering and a dedicated play area makes Tandle Hill a popular choice for family days out and outdoor recreation in the north of the Oldham borough.
