Moses Gate Country Park, part of which is also known as Crompton Lodges, (National Grid Ref: SD 749063) is a 750 acre (300 hectare) site situated at Moses Gate in the Croal and Irwell Valleys 3 miles (5 km) south of Bolton town centre on the A6053 road which connects Farnworth to Little Lever. It is a Local Nature Reserve. ==Description==
The lark runs from the A6053 to (end ) along the banks of the River Croal. At Nob End, the Croal joins the Irwell which then continues for about two miles into Clifton Country Park. The name Moses Gate comes from the joining of two words, one a corruption of the word ''moses'' meaning peaty or marshy lands, and gate is from the Old English ''gata'' meaning a way across, so we have the way though the mosses (also as in Kearsley Yoss, Clifton Moss, Linnyshaw Moss, etc.).〔Billington, W.D., ''From Affetside to Yarrow: Bolton place names and their history'' (1982), Ross Anderson Publications (ISBN 0-86360-003-4).〕 〔(Greenwood's Map of 1818 ). URL accessed 3 December 2007.〕 The alternate name of Crompton Lodges comes from the lakes which were mill ponds or lodges supplying walter to Cromptons Paper Bills. The park lies on the Kingfisher Way〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Moses Gate Park )〕 which runs for from Clifton Country Park to Jumbles Reservoir, north of Bolton. There are three lodges, one is reserved for fishing, one for water sports such as canoeing and the third is a nature reserve for migratory birds and other wildlife. To the east of the lodges is one of the few sections of the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal that is still in water. The land between is reclaimed from old mine workings, one of which was Farnworth Bridge Collieries. The weir was constructed in the River Croal to provide a water supply for Crompton's Paper Mill. Rock Hall is the visitor centre and the headquarters of the park's rangers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Bolton MBC Official web site )〕
