Ice Cream Chute Downhill Trail

Highlight • MTB Park

Cracking descent. There are a few cheat lines down the sides to miss a lot of the loose rocks and rubble. Watch for the drop off the concrete, you’ll know when you see it as it’s the only smooth bit. You will get walkers coming up, so keep looking ahead and pick those lines well.

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
