I only discovered the pool below a waterfall that flows through the ruined Cheesden Lumb Mill in the Cheesden Valley above Heywood, Greater Manchester, a few years ago, but it has become one of my favourite places I can reach on bike from my home in South Central Manchester. There were festivals held downstream at Deeply Vale in the 70s.

When last up the Cheesden Valley, above Heywood, Greater Manchester, I saw a deer grazing in a field bordering the steep banks above the brook below. Poor photo, but I only had my phone ; even if I had my big camera in my rucksack, I would not have wanted to risk it running away as it shortly did.
