Swallows Wood is a nature reserve near Hollingworth, Tameside, straddling the border between Greater Manchester and north Derbyshire. The reserve, which contains semi-natural woodlands, meadows, ponds and marsh areas,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Onsite noticeboard )〕 is owned by United Utilities who are responsible for its management. The site was formerly occupied by the Hollingworth and Waste Lodge reservoirs; these were demolished in 1987, and the nature reserve was installed in their place.〔(The Peak District National Park - Fact Zone 21. Longdendale in the National Park )〕 The route of the proposed Longdendale Bypass would pass through the nature reserve and there is an ongoing campaign to save the wood.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Campaign to Save Swallow's Wood :: Stop the A628 Mottram-Tintwistle Bypass! )〕 Although the bypass has been threatening the wood for nearly 30 years Tameside Council have recently committed to planting 10,000 managed trees, in an attempt to move the woodland gradually away from the bypass route.〔(State of the Area )〕 The wood is on the fringes of the Peak District National Park; many walkers enjoy the area as the views over the woods and moorland are particularly impressive.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Route 1: Swallow's Wood and Cow Lane (via Devil's Bridge) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Route 2: Route 2: Mottram Old Hall and Cow Lane )〕 The area is named after former landowner John Swallow.
