| Walk: | Rivington Hall Barn, Yarrow Reservoir, Hordern Stoops, Belmont Road (track), Pigeon Tower, Terraced Gardens | ||
| Start Point: | Drive to Rivington Hall Barn | Grid Reference: | SD 629 139 |
| Distance: | 7 miles | Ascent: | 1,500 feet |
| Time: | 3 hours | ||
| Weather: | Dull with a very strong wind | ||
| Comments: | A 'Closed' footpath early in the walk meant a detour, taking in Rivington Church, before heading towards Yarrow Reservoir. Not having planned the route I selected paths en route but decided not to ascend to Winter Hill and Rivington Pike because of the very strong wind. | ||
