Hiking
This is a spectacular section of the River Darwen, where a picturesque sandstone gorge leads to a tumbling weir and the 108-foot (33 m) high Hoghton Bottoms Viaduct towers above. Great photo opportunities abound, as both the weir and the viaduct are undoubtedly spectacular. Bear in mind that trails around here can be very boggy following rainfall and in the winter months, so I'd highly recommend sturdy hiking boots.
