    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 😀

    When you thinking of doing it?
