Walking
Enjoy
From serious rambling to Sunday strolling, this is the perfect opportunity to explore the hills and dales of Ribble Valley . Whether it’s a short walk along the banks of a river to a more strenuous climb to the top of Pendle Hill, there’s something for everyone looking for fresh air, exercise and inspiring landscapes whatever your age or ability. The countryside access right in the Forest of Bowland allows even more opportunities to walk freely across areas of mapped, open and spectacular countryside giving you some of the roughest and remote walking in the North West of England.
