Daisy Nook is the name of an area of the Medlock Valley between Oldham, Failsworth and Ashton under Lyne.
The River Medlock runs through a steep-sided, wooded valley between Oldham and Ashton under Lyne, preventing the urban sprawl of the two towns joining up.
The area was originally called Waterhouses, but local writer and poet Ben Brierley called it Daisy Nook in a popular book 'A Day Out' and the name caught on.
During the Victorian period, Daisy Nook began to be a destination for afternoons out. Families would picnic by the river, walk by the canal, take a boat ride at Crime Lake and visit one of the refreshment facilities.
