Hoghton Bottoms Weir
The weir at Hoghton Bottoms although artificially created is today a scenic spot with a new fish-pass added in 2018.
A good walking path leads down along the River Darwen and into Hoghton Bottoms through a rocky passage that looks great. The weir itself is a good drop with an eroded and rocky stream bed downstream and through the rocky gorge known as the The Horr.
