Parbold Hill offers views for anyone walker who wants to just soak in the nice breeze at the summit. You can see places such as Ashurst Beacon (named after Sir William Ashurst who built the beacon on top of the hill back in 1798 as a watch tower), Winter Hill, Wigan and even a bit of North Wales over yonder. It is one of my recommended viewpoints to visit in Lancashire.
