Tigers Clough — Attraction in Chorley

Great place to hike. If you have small kids that love to run and don't listen much be careful tho. The area is a really interesting stream cutting through the rocks with lots of hills around it. You can walk up the steps alongside the stream and it opens up (see my pics) into a more grassy verge. I would give the area 5 stars but the safety for children can be a worry (some fences easy to climb and not much to stop you falling off the edge) and the other factor is a serious amount of trash but that's down to the sheer bloody laziness of human beings just lighting fireworks whilst they scoff their take out meal and then dropping the lot. But overall a really pretty spot to visit.

A great place to explore for more energetic ramblers. Just note you can't drive to Tiger's Clough. Park on Lever Park Rd or Roynton Rd and walk up via the...
