Description

The Long Walk and ornamental archway in Rivington Gardens were built from 1906 to a design by Thomas Mawson for Lord Leverhulme. Both features are constructed from gritstone.

The Long Walk is a stone staircase flanked by low walls, extending from a lane near the gate piers to the former Stone Lodge, and continues uphill for approximately 200 meters to the Upper Drive. A path runs south from the Great Lawn, crossing the staircase. At the top of the steps, there is an ornamental archway made of rock-faced gritstone blocks, featuring through stones above the arch. The arch's voussoir is made of thin gritstone slates, topped with a keystone.
