Anglezarke Amble Challenge

Horwich, United Kingdom • 14 Feb 2026

The Anglezarke Amble Challenge

The Anglezarke Amble is a challenge walk on Saturday 14 February 2026 based at Rivington Village Hall (postcode BL6 7SE). The route passes through Rivington, Anglezarke and Turton Moors, an area described as a "Little Lake District". The walk includes Lever Park, Rivington Pike, Winter Hill (almost 1,500 ft), Darwen Tower, White Coppice and several reservoirs. The event uses moorland and reservoir watersheds, keeping the route largely away from populated or industrial areas. Walkers must complete their chosen route within a 10 hour time limit. Entry fees are £12 for LDWA members and £18 for non-members; fees include checkpoint refreshments, food at the finish and a certificate. Runners may only use the long route.
