12th Nov 2023 - Rivington

All walks are circular from Rivington Great House Barn and are likely to be muddy so gaitors are advisable. 

The anti-clockwise A walk, led by Jim, is a repeat of the one we did in Nov 2017 taking in the Rivington Hall, Rivington Pike, Winter Hill, Great Hill, Anglezarke Reservoir & Yarrow reservoir.

The clockwise B walk, led by Kenny, heads N alongside Rivington Lower & Upper, Yarrow and Anglezarke Reservoirs to Moor Road. This is followed SE to Jepson's Gate for a path swinging E to Simms. Turning SW a path leads back to Yarrow Res and back S to the start.

The C walk, led by Steve, goes along Rivington Resevoir to the castle, then crosses the road towards Knowle House to turn north to Rivington Hall. Then by road to Sparks Bridge and almost to Wilcock's Farm before descending to pass Yarrow Reservoir. The walk can be shortened here or we can pass between Anglezark Reservoir and Rivington Reservoir, returning via The Street and Horrobin Lane.
