Other walks in the area

Simonstone from the Best Western Higher Trapp Hotel

Departure from Simonstone (Lancashire)

Admire spectacular views of Pendle and the South Pennines as you pass through pastoral countryside. The trees along the route are also particularly interesting, with the route passing through beautiful old beech woods on the lowland following the shapes of weathered trees on the high ground. Long steady climb and a little wet in a few places.

Ribble Valley landscapes circular from Foxfields Country Hotel

Departure from Billington and Langho (Lancashire)

Admire spectacular views across two stunning valley landscapes. An early climb will be well worth it, with panoramic views across the Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to the north, and then, once you have crossed the hill, the Pennines to the south. It is the perfect route for a mid-week escape followed by a sumptuous meal. Fairly challenging with an early climb to the top of the hill, ladder stiles and perhaps boggy in places.

Ribble Valley riverside path from The Aspinall Arms, Clitheroe

Departure from Little Mitton (Lancashire)

A circular pub walk from the Aspinall Arms taking in glorious riverside paths, grazing pastures, ancient lanes and wild moorland of Ribble Valley, with excellent views throughout.
