Less than 30 minutes drive from Gawthorpe Hall lies the Stubbins Estate and Holcombe Moor. Throughout the Stubbins Estate there are glorious views of the surrounding countryside, towns and moorland. There are acres of wooded hillside, farmland and Pennine moorland ready for you to explore, on a clear day you get views reaching as far as Wales. The area can be easily accessed by public footpaths close to Ramsbottom. Whilst working in the area look out for the distinctive Peel Tower on Holcombe Hill. It was built in 1852 and commemorates Sir Robert Peel, Prime Minister of Britain (1841 -1846) and founder of the modern police force.
