The Trough Of Bowland ,Lancashire
Sunday was a glorious day so off to the Trough Of Bowland, an area of exceptional beauty. Not far from the city of Manchester it's wonderful . The Inn you see serves food which is top class .The cheeses local and made from the herd kept by the chese makers .As for the kippers , also locally smoked .Then to the stepping stones .I had to rise to the challenge and reckoned a ducking would be worth it ...Having managed it was a must to return for high tea.The scones were straight from the oven ,Home made jam and local cream .It doesn't get much better .

Whitewell
Whitewell is a hamlet within the Ribble Valley borough of Lancashire, England, in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Historically, it lay on the border of the former West Riding of Yorkshire. It stands above a picturesque bend in the River Hodder.
Places to see in ( Barnoldswick - UK )
Places to see in ( Barnoldswick - UK )
Barnoldswick is a town and civil parish in Lancashire, England. Near the county border with North Yorkshire, it is just outside the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town is built in the shadow of Weets Hill, and Stock Beck, a tributary of the River Ribble, runs through the town. It has a population of 11,005.
Barnoldswick and the surrounding areas of West Craven were part of the historic West Riding of Yorkshire between 876 (the earliest known written reference to the Ridings of York in the Anglo Saxon Chronicles) and 1974, when local government was reorganised; West Riding County Council and Barnoldswick Urban District Council were abolished and replaced in this area by the Borough of Pendle, a part of Lancashire.
Situated on the lower slopes of Weets Hill in the Pennines astride the natural watershed between the Ribble and Aire valleys, Barnoldswick is the highest town on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, lying on the summit level of the canal between Barrowford Locks to the south west and Greenberfield Locks just north east of the town. It is approximately 30 miles (48 km) from the cities of Leeds, Manchester and Preston. Nearby towns include Skipton to the east, Clitheroe to the west, Burnley to the south and Keighley to the east southeast.
Barnoldswick, with twelve letters, is one of the longest place names in the United Kingdom without repeating any letters. Buckfastleigh, Devon; Buslingthorpe, Leeds, West Yorkshire; and Buslingthorpe, Lincolnshire are longer, with 13 letters, while Bricklehampton in Worcestershire has 14.
Barnoldswick dates back to Anglo Saxon times. It was listed in the Domesday Book as Bernulfesuuic, meaning Bernulf's Town (uuic being an archaic spelling of wick, meaning settlement, in particular, a dairy farm). Barnoldswick is often cited as the largest town in the British Isles not to be served by any A roads. However, in spite of this, road links to the town are comparatively good; easy access to the M65, A65 and A59 means that Manchester, Preston, Leeds and Bradford can all be reached in an hour by car.
Barnoldswick was formerly served by Barnoldswick railway station, the only station on the Midland Railway's branch line off the Skipton to Colne Line, though this was shut under the Beeching Axe in 1965. The pressure group Selrap is currently campaigning for the reopening of the Skipton to Colne line, and although their plans do not include the Barnoldswick Branch, rail travel to the town would be improved by such a reopening. At present, would be rail passengers must travel via Colne or Clitheroe for trains serving Lancashire, or via Skipton for trains serving North and West Yorkshire.
Public transport to the town is therefore restricted to buses. Barnoldswick lies on the bus routes between Skipton and Burnley and between Skipton and Clitheroe/Preston, operated by Burnley Bus Company and Preston Bus respectively. On Sundays there is a service from Burnley to Grassington in the Yorkshire Dales National Park that passes through Barnoldswick.
( Barnoldswick - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Barnoldswick . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Barnoldswick - UK

Mavic 2 Zoom, The Beautiful Forest Of Bowland
History, Culture & Heritage
Cromwell's Bridge
The Forest of Bowland is a landscape rich in heritage, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, much of this beauty is related to the wild nature of the landscape - itself a result of hundreds, if not thousands of years of human activity.
Many of the features present in Bowland today were established in the post medieval period. Across Bowland there are many fine examples of the stone buildings that were built to replace timber houses between the 16th and 18th centuries, with their characteristic stone mullions, lintels and datestones. There are also sites that survive as isolated reminders of the medieval heritage of the Forest of Bowland, for example the Cistercian monastery at Sawley.
image copyright Graham CooperIt was the medieval period that perhaps had the greatest impact on the Bowland landscape. During this time the Royal hunting forests were established - the title ‘forest’ refers to hunting rights, and not to a large expanse of woodland, as we interpret it today. The King used his rights to prevent landowners from clearing and cultivating the land, restricting development and prohibiting change. This controlling influence continued after the Forest laws were revoked in 1507, as deer parks and smaller estates replaced the hunting forests.
There were five main forests - the Royal Forest of Bowland and four others belonging to the earldom of Lancaster at Bleasdale, Quernmore, Wyresdale and Pendle. Hunting in these areas was traditionally for deer and wild boar, together with rabbits, foxes, hares, pheasants and partridges.
Managing the land for game hunting, primarily grouse shooting, has remained a predominant influence on the landscape, and several large private landowners remain today, such as the Duchy of Lancaster, the Duke of Westminster, and Lord Clitheroe. However the current largest single landowner is United Utilities - which manages a large area of the fells primarily for water catchment.
Bronze Age settlers cleared trees from the fells and began cultivating the land. They left little material evidence of their presence, but the fells have remained largely clear of trees ever since.
Other pre historic remains in the area include a cairn on Parlick Pike and Bleasdale Circle.
The Romans left behind two key routeways through Bowland, the north-south Ribchester to Carlisle road, and a lesser east-west route which is evident north of Downham.
The Norse settlers left their impact in our language as well as the landscape - for example, ‘Pen’ in Pendle means hill; ‘Tolfin’ was a norseman who founded what is now called Dolphinholme (‘holme’ is an area of flat land). Contrary to popular misconceptions, the origins of the name Bowland have nothing to do with archery (“the land of the bow”) or with medieval vaccaries (Old Norse, bu-, cow). According to Ekwall (1922), the name derives from the Old English boga-, Old Norse bogi-, meaning a “bow or bend in a river”, and was likely coined in the tenth-century to describe the topography of the Hodder basin, with its characteristic meandering river and streams. The Domesday Bogeuurde is an instance of this usage – a placename thought to designate Barge Ford (formerly known as Boward/Bowerd), a ford that sits on the wide, pronounced bend of the Hodder at its confluence with Foulscales Brook, due southwest of Newton.
Local History & Heritage - Notable Heritage Features
Medieval vaccaries (a type of cattle farm) at Sabden and Marshaw, the motte and bailey castles in the Lune valley, and the monastery at Sawley.
Grand halls, parks and houses at Browsholme, Leagram and Quernmore
Sixteenth to eighteenth century stone buildings with their distinctive stone mullions, lintels and datestones can be seen in many villages and a fine example is at Stephen Park in Gisburn Forest
Dry stone walls and outbarns - the irregular field patterns are oldest (pre 1600AD), while the more regular patterns date from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
Disused quarries and lead mines
Lime kilns (used to make mortar as well as lime to fertilise the fields)
Nineteenth century cotton and paper mills at Oakenclough and Caton
South Pennines, Lancashire
I'v never heard of Hurstwood before visiting the area. It's just on the outskirts of East Burnley in Lancashire. Our route took us through wild moorlands of Worsthorne, passing various features and reservoirs (part of the Pennine Bridleway.). Despite the howling wind I enjoyed the ruggedness of the countryside
The Trough Of Bowland, Lancashire. (A Northern Soul drive through it!)
The Trough of Bowland is a valley and high pass in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Lancashire, England.
The pass, reaching 968 ft (295 m) above sea level at the head of the valley, links to Wyresdale, dividing the upland core of Bowland into two main blocks. Though steep and narrow, the road is the most direct connection between Lancaster and Dunsop Bridge, and hence Clitheroe. The Grey Stone of Trough, at the head of the pass, marks the line of the pre-1974 county boundary between Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire. (Wikipedia). My journey is the 25miles from Clitheroe to Lancaster and the film is speeded up x8. The music is 1/ Jackey Beavers: Trying to get back to you (Part 1) and 2/ The Wooden Nickels: Nobody but you.

Close to the Forest of Bowland, this attractive neighbourhood of energy efficient three, four and five bedroom homes provides a perfect opportunity to put down roots in the heart of England’s beautiful north west.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This well-connected village lies in northern Lancashire, and from beautiful local scenery to delicious restaurants – we’ve discovered why Catterall is the ideal place to call home.
Rural to Cosmopolitan
Catterall is the ideal peaceful retreat to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Located within easy reach of the M6 for commuters, the village itself is a quiet, rural haven with a strong community feel. But don’t be thinking that this means that there’s nothing to do – only a half hour drive away is the bustling city of Preston, brimming with museums, art galleries and theatres.
Little Italy
If you’re a lover of pizza, pasta and all things Italian (let’s be honest, who isn’t?) then Catterall is the place for you. The village boasts a wealth of highly rated restaurants within easy walking distance of Beacon Park. The Slice of Sicily restaurant is less than half a mile away from Joe Lane. Brimming with traditional dishes such as ragú topped pappardelle and thin crispy pizzas, they also offer more adventurous plates like chickpea fritters, rich lamb shank in a Sicilian Marsala sauce and baked tomato and garlic seabass – ideal for families and foodies alike.
Take a Hike
Catterall benefits from being a stone’s throw away from one of England’s most stunning Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty: the Forest of Bowland. Only two miles away from the Forest’s boundaries, Catterall residents can take advantage of escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life and truly getting back to nature. There’s a whole host of walking and cycling routes – no matter how you like to make the most of the outdoors, there’s plenty for the whole family to enjoy. You can even go stargazing, enjoy local produce or visit farm parks – Catterall residents can simply pack up the car and head out into the forest in no time, pure bliss!
Solve a Mystery
The local area also runs many family friendly events to keep the little ones entertained. The famous Garstang Mystery Treasure Trail lets the kids release their inner Sherlock Holmes and take to the outdoors to solve a series of puzzles. Suitable for children from four to teens, the pirate themed trail takes around two hours to complete and goes all the way around the town and along scenic riversides, stopping at statues, signposts and monuments for clues. An ideal way to explore the local town whilst keeping the little ones entertained, we’re sure a stop off at Sweets of Garstang at the end will provide the ideal reward for the keen treasure hunters!
