Liverpool Castle At Rivington

Inspired by Liverpool Castle which was destroyed in the Civil War, the Lever Brothers magnate Lord Leverhulme commissioned a replica to be built in 1912 overlooking the reservoir on his Rivington estate.

After his death in 1925 work was halted leaving the castle resembling the ruins of the original.

Now weathered and overgrown this is an ideal place to explore with the Huskies who love to play in the ruins and run through the tree’s close bye.

This gentle 2.5-mile round trip is flat and easy-going, and a visit to the Tea Rooms at Great House Barn halfway round is the cherry on the top – their homemade cakes and sandwiches are to die for and always a big hit with our pampered pooches.
