Lord Leverhulme bequeathed his beautiful Lever Park at Rivington to the people of Chorley. The park, on the slopes of Rivington Moor overlooking Chorley, comprises landscaped gardens, tree-lined avenue, barns and a Georgian hall. Ideal for a day out, there are walks through the parkland on the banks of the reservoir and the slope of Rivington Moor as well as the ramble through the abandoned gardens of Leverhulme's old bungalow destroyed by fire when it was set alight by a suffragette! It is possible to walk to the top of Rivington Pike to see the folly built there and also enjoy stunning views over Chorley, Horwich and Bolton. When you get back down, you can even get refreshments!!!
Anglezarke is part of the West Pennine Moors and can be accessed from Brinscall, White Coppice and Rivington.
There's a good website for anyone who wants to see some great images of White Coppice, Anglezarke & Rivington at http://web.ukonline.co.uk/jed/
