Not quite as good as Rivington Pike, but still a decent view.
AJ
Is a bumpy drive but, when your up there nice and warm with a brew in the car, with complete panoramic view, its breathtaking.
Donna
I walked up there this afternoon, tiring - but brilliant views from the top!!!
Kevin Day
Tough cycle ride up there, but worth the sweat and aching legs. On a clear day you can see landmarks such as Blackpool Tower and Jodrell Bank.

Glorious views. A lovely family friendly walk with a 3 wheeled buggy. Excellent food at the (child friendly) pub close by. A super day out.
John
Fantastic views across my beloved home town. I could sit up there all day.

Tough walk to the top for an old man like me, but fantastic views once you get there.
