Stunning Rivington hike in Lancashire!
Take a leisurely, lovely walk in the country park of Rivington and hike to the pike tower to see the beautiful, panoramic views of Lancashire.
The peaceful scenery spans across lushous greenery and takes you through the Japanese and Italian gardens and lake, Pigeon tower, and enjoy a picnic or coffee and cake at the barn.
There is plenty of parking and a lovely day out in the English countryside!

Nature walk in Rivington, Horwich
Beautiful place at any time of the year!
I love going for a walk around Rivington, there’s always new places to see and experience. It’s such an adventure walking up to the pike and seeing old ruins on the way. It’s a good walk but not too long and then usually stop off at the barn cafe after for a hot chocolate and toast or!!

A walk around the hall
Chorley’s Astley hall and park is the prefect place for that weekend winter walk and to get out ans get some fresh air.
The house itself is now home to an art gallery and museum with the surrounding landscape gardens providing a tranquil escape. The park itself has a great extents of trails to explore both off-road through the woods or more accessible paving throughout the heart of the park. An added bonus is the park is in the doorstep of the market town itself #chillandthrill #park#statelyhomes #lancashire

Boxing Day Hike up Rivington Pike
A Boxing Day tradition in Bolton is to climb Rivington Pike, the highest point in the area. You will find many other hikers making the climb.
The tower at the peak was a beacon, used as an early warning system in case of an invasion by the Scots.
This was a particularly foggy day, but the mists descended into the vales giving us a unique view from above the clouds.

A sunny winter’s walk
Greater Manchester may at times feel quite dark and like a concrete jungle, those looking to escape this should head to its North West corner to the village of Rivington and pike of the same name.
the area provides plenty of walks for all abilities from a gentle stroll around the canal to a long hike to one of the highest points in the country passing a number of follies on the way.

The goal keep had another nightmare by a long throw court him off guard to make it 2-0
The 2nd half was a bit better from Bradford should had a pen kick when one of ours players got took out in the pen area but the referee did not give it (Nat league Ref) shocking
The fans of Chorley are great it was a very nice place to go
the goal keeper had a lot of banter

I have download two offline route maps in All Trials Apps and combined to be this route. The first part of my route, I have followed "Winter Hill, Rivington Pike and Two Lads". The second part of my route, I have followed little bit from "Rivington Pike and Lower Rivongton".
The first half part is quite muddy, highly not recommend to go on rainy day. Also, you must need to keep your eyes on the offline map to make sure you are on the track.
The Pigeon Tower was commissioned and erected by Lever as a birthday present to his wife, Elizabeth Ellen. It offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
Rivington Pike situated at most westerly point on Winter Hill. It is a popular attraction, suitable to go there with your pet and child. It is one of the best view point in North West England. The route are well paved and maintained. You will see the clear and fantastic view from here (if the weather is nice).
The way back from Rivington Pike to the bus station, it will be a route full of sheeps. Please be careful and respect, don't touch or disturb them:)
If you want to bring your pet and child to go there, I will suggest only follow the last half part, start at Roynton Rd, then Rivington Pike, The Pigeon Tower, and back. It would skip those muddy road:)
⭐️Be careful of the muddy road
⭐️Dogs friendly
⭐️Not recommend to go in rainy day
⭐️Remember to wear hiking shoes and bring enough water
