Country walks near Greater Manchester ending with a beer garden

Now that May is here, bringing with it long bank holiday weekends and sunny days , it’s the ideal time to head outside and explore the incredible countryside we have right on our doorstep. Whether it’s hiking up hills or wandering through woodland, there are some amazing walks to do nearby.

From the top of the hill you can see as far as Blackpool Tower and the Lake District mountains on a clear day, while the Pike Tower is instantly recognisable from miles around. You can reach the tower via a walk through Rivington Terraced Gardens, offering lots to see along the way. Run by the National Trust, at the heart of the site is Quarry Bank Mill, an 18th-century cotton mill. Although you have to pay to enter the buildings and go on the tours, entry to the wider estate is completely free.

It’s a challenging and steep walk to the summit, but it’s worth the effort for the views. Afterwards you can head to one of the best pubs in the country - The Pack Horse in Hayfield. Although it’s now a tranquil spot, the valley was once home to several mills and you can still see the remains of them today. One of the most impressive is Cheesden Lumb Mill, which features a waterfall flowing through the ruins.
