Rivington Pike
Rivington Pike, off Rivington Lane, Rivington, near Horwich, BL6 7SB · Bolton & Bury
The 1733 Pike Tower crowns a 1,191ft summit on the West Pennine Moors, with views stretching to Blackpool Tower, the Lake District fells and even the Isle of Man on a clear day. A popular family route climbs from Rivington Hall Barn up through Lord Leverhulme's atmospheric Terraced Gardens, which are free and open at all times. Refuel afterwards at the Great House Barn tea room in Lever Park below.
Spark Hub tip: It's a proper uphill climb to the tower, and the tower itself is bricked up - you admire it from outside. The Pike has no postcode of its own, so navigate to the car parks.
