Paths

Not all the paths described in the text appear on maps, and where they do there is no guarantee that they still exist, or remain continuous or well defined. With only a small number of exceptions, paths are signposted, but not always waymarked.

This circuit of the Anglezarke Reservoir (constructed in 1857) uses parts of a number of paths used in other walks, and is typical of the scope for invention that the area around Rivington allows. A pair of binoculars would be useful, as you spend a deal of time close by the water, with the prospect of spotting birdlife. There is ample parking in the many side lanes that branch from the main road through Rivington, if the Great House Barn car park is full.
