Rivington Ramble

This route is a perfect way to explore Rivington without climbing Rivington Pike. The route stays mostly on bridleways so can get a bit bumpy, don’t be put off if it rains as this is a great ride for putting on the waterproofs and having a splash in some puddles. Starting at Rivington Great House Barn which is next to the Information Centre, we will head out along the tracks and trails without too much climbing to the back of Rivington and Blackrod School. We will then cross over Rivington Lane, at this point there is a very short section along the road before we head off back onto the tracks and trails in Lever Park heading down towards Liverpool Castle. We then head along the reservoir passing Go Ape before heading back to the Great House Barn Cafe. The total length of the ride is around 5 miles and the path is suitable for mountain bikes with sturdy tyres. Wearing a helmet is advisable, though not essential. If you have a spare inner tube great please bring one along but not to worry if you don’t. It’s always good to take a few layers to cope with our British weather, a waterproof is always advisable.
