Astley Hall Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Astley Hall UK 🇬🇧
#timetotravel
My visit to Astley Hall in the United Kingdom was like stepping into a historical tapestry woven with elegance and charm. Situated in the picturesque Chorley, this stately mansion greeted me with its Tudor architecture and captivating ambiance. As I wandered through the ornate rooms and admired the period furnishings, a sense of stepping back in time filled me. The exquisite plasterwork and the lush gardens were enchanting highlights. Astley Hall's location in Chorley's town center made it a cultural gem. It wasn't just a house; it was a living piece of history that offered a glimpse into the lives of those who once called it home, inviting me to appreciate the fusion of architecture, art, and heritage that define this beautiful part of England.

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
