Description:The flash is a 490‑acre country park located between Leigh and Lowton in Greater Manchester, centred around a 170‑acre lake that was formed in the early 20th century as a result of coal‑mining subsidence, primarily from Bickershaw Colliery. The park offers a wide range of assets and amenities, including the Leigh & Lowton Sailing Club, diverse wildlife habitats, private meadows, natural streams and ponds, designated bridleways, a children’s play area, multiple bird hides and a nine‑hole flat golf course. A café and the on‑site visitor centre are at the heart of the location, along with several large parking areas that provide flexible options for different site needs.
