Joe Whitter Fell Runners Memorial

Highlight • Viewpoint

Joe Whitter was a local fell runner who developed a brain tumour at a relatively young age and passed away in 1990 at the age of 52. The moors of Anglezarke were Joe’s training ground, and a few months after his death, a memorial plaque was placed at this spot in his honour.

Great Hill Summit Shelter

Highlight • Natural Monument

Part of the West Pennine Moors, so plenty bog around, well pathed from white coppice and over spitlers edge. One of my favorite local hills. Views over to Darwen Tower (aka The Rocket) as well as Winter Hill and Rivington Pike. Can be approached from a few different directions. Nice summit shelter for a brew and lunch!

Winter Hill Summit and TV Mast

Highlight • Historical Site

Part of the west Pennine Hills Winter Hill stands at 456m. There is a trig point and several radio and communications masts on the summit. There is also a memorial to a plane that crashed here in 1958 on a flight from the Isle of Man to Manchester.

Rivington Pike Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Built in 1733 from the remains of a beacon platform and pit and from local stone from the River Douglas and wood from the surrounding hills, Grade 2 listed Rivington Pike Tower was formerly used as a hunting lodge by Squire John Andrews, sheltering shooting parties out on a jolly from Rivington Hall. After decades of disrepair and vandalism the castellated top has been renovated, the roof and chimney replaced, and the door and windows bricked up. Inside, and now unable to be seen, are a fireplace and a small stone-flagged cellar. Due to erosion the doorway now stands a good forty inches above the soil rendering the Tower’s foundations clearly visible

Thithaven Lake (Italian Lake)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Italian lake - one of many beauty spots in this area once owned by Lord Lever and his family. Stair cases lead up to the Pigeon tower, closest parking would be top two car parks Rivington

Seven Arched Bridge

Highlight • Monument

The seven arched bridge was commissioned by Lord Leverhulme to mimic a bridge he'd seen in Africa. It gives access to the summer houses and terraced gardens above the main track.
You can walk across and under the bridge while exploring the gardens.

Anglezarke Reservoir North-East Shore
