Gisburn

Gisburn Church

On the verge of the Lancashire and Yorkshire borderline you’ll find a unique village that straddles the A59 between Clitheroe and Skipton. This is Gisburn, where a walk along the cobblestones of the wide main street will take you towards the historic Parish Church. Gaze in amazement at the stunning original Norman stained glass windows facing North and South and its beautiful arch.

Many a deal has been made the well renowned Auction Mart, and one of Gisburn’s busiest times is when it’s market day.

Visit the stunning Gisburn Forest, the largest forest in Lancashire and now home to one of the country’s premier mountain biking trails.

Did you know? – Guy of Gisburn of Robin Hood fame was said to have come from here and The White Bull public house is so named because until 1857 Gisburn Park contained a herd of white hornless wild cattle, descendants of cattle which once roamed the area. This particular herd was said to have been brought to Gisburn after the dissolution of the Abbey at Whalley.
