B Walk - Rivington with Roy Smith
5½ miles (8.9km) with 500ft (152m) Total Ascent
Meet at the lower barn i.e. The Great House Barn, Rivington (Sat Nav BL6 7SB), ready for the usual start time of 10.30am.
From the lower barn we head northwards along the side of Lower Rivington Reservoir. At Rivington we enter field paths and make our way to and walk along the eastern side of Yarrow Reservoir. From the northern end of the reservoir we head uphill winding our way until we reach the War Memorial.
After a short break here we head northwest to Jepson´s Gate, where we meet a minor road and follow it downhill to a recognised viewpoint overlooking Anglezarke Reservoir. Some more road walking takes us to woodland and country tracks, which lead us back to the village of Rivington. From here we retrace our steps back to our starting point.
