The Pigeon Tower was a folly built by Lord Leverhulme, apparently for his wife. It stands at the top of the Terraced Gardens he also built as all this area was his estate, the gardens are currently under renovation by volunteers, they have uncovered lost paths, mosaic floors, thought lost to history

Photography Tips

I’m on a beginner in Landscape Photography myself as I mainly shoot Street and Urban but I would say first and foremost to wear the right gear. Yes, this is only a couple of miles from Horwich, where u live by the way, and a little more from Bolton but though there are plenty of paths, these are mainly rugged and full of boulders or slabs that are extremely slippery when wet, you are also in Lancashire in the North West of England, not the Med so wet weather gear may be worthwhile.
