ホーウィック周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Much of the path around the base is presently closed owing to maintenance works, so please be aware!

The path around the reservoir is worthwhile. It's used by many runners and dog walkers. Unfortunately, the reservoir is currently low on water.

I visited on a sunny day, it was warm at the bottom and very windy at the very top. The route was quite easy.

A lovely, easy walk along reservoir shores, with wooded borders that look beautiful in autumn sunshine

A grand, high-level cruise around the West Pennine Moors. The route follows long chunks of the Witton Weavers’ Way on good tracks so is suitable for a winter’s night. It can, however, get claggy in the woods. The bridleway signage is a lot more generous on the ground than the map would suggest, especially if you have an older map.

Tower open at weekends, great view from the top despite missing landmark plaques!

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.
