[#3906909]

I'm planning a 3 tower ride (Rivington pike, Jubilee tower & peel tower)

But I'm planning on visiting some of the monuments along the way

1) Holcombe moor - Pilgrims cross, Robin Hood's Well, Ellen Strange memorial.
2)Rivington/Winter Hill - Two Lads cairn, Scotchman's stump.
3)Darwen moor - ??

can anyone add any other monuments/places of interest along the way?

Slight detour and take in Turton Tower. You could nip home for a brew!

The Irwell Works brewery.

This may sound stupid. But makes a lot of sense if you do it as a bivi ride. We even went out for a curry in Darwen ๐Ÿ˜€

When you thinking of doing it?
