3 Towers on West Penine moors

old codger · February 2010

Hello,
is it possible to do the 3 towers (Rivington,Jubilee and Peel) on the mountain bike.

Cheers.

It can be done. Rivington Pike and Darwen Jubilee Tower are dead easy to link up via Winter Hill and the Witton Weavers Way. Getting to Peel Tower is then a bit of a trek and in all honesty probably not worth bothering unless you've done every other ride in the area.

Mancunianfightingcat Is it legal to ride on the Witton Weavers Way only ridden it once and we got told to sod off by a warden form Blackburn and Darwen council

Maybe not, looking at the map. But then again, the Belmont descent from Winter Hill shows as a footpath, but there's no way I'd miss that buzz if my ride went nearby!
