Komoot recommends this hike; so do I. There are quite a few twists and turns on this route, but it passes by quite a few interesting places, such as the Lever Bridge, the Japanese garden, the Pigeon Tower and the Rivington Pike, apart from the lovely scenery and remnants of Lever’s old bungalow.

The original medieval Liverpool Castle stood in Liverpool near the waterfront, which is about 22 miles southwest of Rivington, but it had been demolished in the 1720s. The currently-existing structure named Liverpool Castle is a scaled replica that was commissioned by Lord Leverhulme. Work started in 1912 and continued until Lord Leverhulme’s death in 1925. Relatively few people had been assigned to the construction of the building, so the structure was not quite finished, although the folly was supposed to look like the ruins of a castle anyway. In the years since Lord Leverhulme’s death, the area Castle, fell into disrepair. Weeds started growing on the castle’s masonry, people vandalized the walls, and a spiral staircase within the castle collapsed in the early 1980s. Liverpool Castle is still slowly crumbling, transforming from a folly meant to imitate the ruins of a castle into actual ruins.
