Excellent place to visit with famly Beautiful with absolutely brilliant 360 views! You can go inside and the spiral staircase to the the top for an even better view (free). There are benches to sit and enjoy the view and rest after the up. Its a fairly easy hike up to the but lots of loose rock under foot. Lots of wildlife to see on the route too. Darwen is a fantastic spot for a hike with breathtaking over Lancashire. The up is rewarding, and on a clear day, you can see as far as Wales. A place for nature lovers and photographers. Be prepared for windy conditions at the top, but it's well the climb! Nice with view over the surrounding areas. The itself was open and free to climb, which was a nice surprise. up. Think we took a wrong turning somewhere and went the long way! another trek though! There were little kids and guys on bikes up there! has been revamped and provides excellent all around in a clear day. I walked from Crookfield road car park which was just short of 6 miles round trip. You can park up closer and make the trip shorter. Very windy at the top today but a nice up and free up the tower. Good walk. Lots of trails up and kept clean and inviting. from the top on a clear day. What a lovely Good long to reach the tower, but one time in life kinda visit, it Brilliant place to up. Excellent of the town and the moors would highly recommend for anyone that doesn't mind hiking. Even the kids can make it. This was on our so hadn’t done any research so to find it was open for you to it and get the was just brilliant. place to visit. Fabulous on the way up and once you're there, a up the for more spectacular views. Not suitable for prams/wheelchairs (i left by Sunnyhurst car park). I started my route at Bold Venture Park, then around the waterfall and along the river path. There was fog but the view from the was like from an airplane Absolutely beautiful place to walk&take in the immense picturesque views. We could just make out Blackpool on the coastline postcard view. Took some explaining to our Granddaughter what she was actually looking at. It's just how far you can see whilst scanning your surroundings. From Wind farms to Farming livestock to grazing horses and astounding vistas joined together with numerous beautiful twisted brush marks of nature. Those new and ever changing memories, a different photo in every season. If you need an excuse to visit this place, then that's a good enough reason. The I love starts through the woods and leads to the Reservoir, a place to through on hot sunny days, that will be the next mini adventure. Ps some of the climbs are a little taxing but easily tackled and it's definitely while stopping and taking in your next post to social media. Who knows we might see you up there. Enjoy your afternoon vacation. Oh and please everyone, respect, be thoughtful for our natural beauty spots. Take what you fetch so these areas are kept tidy. I didn't see too much litter at all on the which was to see. I did however come across glass and the odd discarded wrapper around the which wasn't so nice to see. We all have a part to play in this one and I'm glad that so many walkers share this interest . Excellent place to visit either for the view's, or excerise. I took my Grandson and we made many special memories, Highly recommended 👌 Went upto the with family to catch the sunset... Absolutely views. Was back at the on 13/04/25, however this time with my friends from GO WIN Hikers. What a climb! The path to the top was not one I had taken before. Tiring but well it. Such a good job done with the restoration. A lovely walk. This is a and on a clear day rewards you with all-round of Lancashire. However, from where we started at Roddlesworth,good signage is sadly very lacking for the first timer and we strayed off track a few times. More visible signposts please Darwen council. The itself is impressive and well maintained and the fact we were able to up the spiral stone staircase to the top was a bonus. Wow. Go up on a clear day. right out to the coast. A bit of a but we'll it. We parked at Sunnyhurst Woods car park and had a hike to Darwen tower. It was a moderate hike. The from the are splendid and we will come back again for sure. Surprised you can go inside and up the stairs. Cracking and some lovely walks to get there. Id recommend taking the path directly from Darwen town as there's a beautiful river that's a look on the route. Also free to enter and get around. Very cool place, nice steep up to the but views. Lovely from Abbey Village. Darwen offered superb views. Pity the scrubbers keep littering, and ignorant dog owners leaving bagged up dog shite everywhere. Lovely up to the via Bold Venture Park, it is a steep in places but well it for the Beautiful jubilee and a lovely up to the Darwen with some beautiful views!
