Rivington Gardens neglected but very impressive. It was very easy for me to imagine I was in Jepson Gardens in Leamington Spa. The gardens are a suprise after walking from the Rivington Hall over the steep sloped fields. At pont '5' near the Riverton Gardens it is surprise to look over the all and see a moor. Good views from Rivington Pike over Manchester and the surrounding area.

Car Parking behind the Great House Barn. Start at Rivington Pike, Country Park.
Hazards:
Care required in general for this walk. Map very difficult to follow in places. Choose direction carefully at point numbers through the park '2,4'5'6'8' & 10'. From point '10' do not follow road but cross field, at approsimately opposite the road junction.
