Stunning scenery nice tarmac road to enjoy a sprint

Great views around here are fantastic on a clear day.

This great climb is used in the Chorley Grand Prix road race held in April. From the reservoir at Rivington

Brilliant little walk with lots to see!! Great place to have a picnic, does get busy though.

Rivington is a lovely place to get out for a walk - lots to see within a short distance and great to keep kids and adults entertained.

Rivington Pike at 362m is a very popular summit for runners and walkers. The trails up through the terraced gardens are a lot of fun to run and you can extend the loop by taking in Winter Hill. Get up early or take a head torch and run in the evening to avoid the crowds although it's quite fun running up past them at any time. The tower was built in 1733 on the site of the ancient beacon. It was a hunting lodge but when restored none of the internal features where kept and the door and windows have been blocked.

Part of the west Pennine Hills Winter Hill stands at 456m. There is a trig point and several radio and communications masts on the summit. There is also a memorial to a plane that crashed here in 1958 on a flight from the Isle of Man to Manchester.

The Pigeon Tower (AKA The Dovecote Tower) was built in 1910 by Lord Leverhulme as part of the Rivington Estate. The lower two floors where home to ornamental and rare species of pigeon and dove with the third floor kept as a sitting room with amazing views. Lady Leverholme used to enjoy sewing here.
