The Ribble Valley and Forest of Bowland

Clitheroe Castle, with its  newly refurbished museum and 12th century keep, are a must not just for the history but also for the magnificent views over Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley.

Also for history buffs are the Abbeys of Whalley and Sawley. In both cases, in addition to the ruins, there are riverside walks, country pubs and at Whalley plenty of interesting shops and a vibrant Farmers Market.

Samlesbury Hall a fellow GTBS member is a wonderful Tudor timber framed hall packed with history why not combine it with a visit to nearby Brockholes nature reserve. If you like Historic Houses also visit Gawthorpe Hall and Browsholme Hall.

A good family day out can be enjoyed at another fellow GTBS member the Bowland Wild Boar Park.

We have attractive villages aplenty in the Forest of Bowland AONB and Pendle. In addition to our near neighbors Downham, Worston, Pendleton, Higham and Fence, there are Waddington, Slaidburn Village and Dunsop Bridge which are all well worth a visit - as is Chipping Village.
