There’s a lot to be said for having a whole day to explore without a packed schedule. Around Rivington, you can choose a gentle walk or something more adventurous and still leave plenty of time for a good coffee.
Start with the scenery
Rivington Pike is a well-known viewpoint and an excellent choice if you’re in the mood for a climb. For quieter exploring, the paths and historic structures of Rivington Terraced Gardens give you a different kind of day out.
Take a break along the way
For a leisurely lunch or a warm drink, look at Spring Cottage Café or the Village Green Tea Room. Check current opening hours before heading out, particularly during quieter seasons.
Keep a little time free
Returning to the farmhouse, putting your feet up and enjoying the countryside is as much a part of the break as the places you visit.
