Attractions

It's fun, it's exciting, it's relaxing...what's keeping you? Get out there and discover Ribble Valley's attractions.

Follow in the footsteps of Romans, Normans and former literary giants. Each one of Ribble Valley's heritage attractions will take you on an historic tour full of past times and fun times!

It's rare to discover an area that has the potential to appeal to everyone! 

Uncover bygone times at Browsholme Hall and Ribchester Roman Museum, see how monks from centuries ago lived and worked at Whalley Abbey, or perhaps book a tour and one of the largest and impressive buildings in the North West, where author of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, spent his turbulent schooldays - Stonyhurst College.

Take in the fun all year round at Bowland Wild Boar Park where the kids can bottle feed pet lambs and experience tractor and trailer rides during school holidays and weekends. Get 'hands on' in Clitheroe Castle Museum's new galleries where younger hearts can experience the 350 million years of history, heritage and geology kitted out with a rucksack, map and magnifying glass - young explorers in the making!
