Welcome to Rivington

Rivington is a small village located in Lancashire, England. It is situated on the edge of the West Pennine Moors and is known for its beautiful countryside and stunning views. The village is home to a number of historic buildings, including Rivington Hall, which dates back to the 16th century. The hall is now a private residence, but visitors can still admire its impressive architecture from the outside.

One of the main attractions in Rivington is the Rivington Pike, a hill that stands at 1,191 feet above sea level. The hill is a popular spot for walkers and hikers, who come to enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. At the top of the hill is a tower that was built in 1733 as a beacon to warn of any impending danger. Today, the tower is a popular landmark and is open to visitors who can climb to the top for even more breathtaking views.

Rivington is also home to a number of other attractions, including the Rivington Terraced Gardens, which were designed by Thomas Mawson in the early 20th century. The gardens are a series of terraces that lead down to the Lower Rivington Reservoir and are home to a variety of plants and wildlife. Visitors can explore the gardens and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, or take a stroll around the reservoir and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
