Overview

We have a brisk and varied walk every week.

We may explore Rivington Gardens, Montcliffe, Bottom'O'Th' Moor, Wilderswood, The Rivington Barns, Liverpool Castle, Tigers Clough, Blackrod or venture onto the moors to Adams Hill, Two Lads or Burnt Edge.

On the third Thursday of the month, we have a different starting place, and on the fourth Thursday of the month, we have an easier walk that is still brisk, but we will not go onto the moors, so there is less climbing involved.
