With walks ranging from low-level valley trails to higher hill routes,
this guidebook offers plenty of year-round walking options for active
families and committed hikers alike. The walks are accessible from a
range of nearby villages, towns and cities including Preston, Blackburn,
Burnley, Chorley, Lancaster and Clitheroe.
Lancashire showcases some of the most varied walking in the UK,
featuring the wide expanse of Morecambe Bay, the Forest of Bowland AONB
and limestone fringes of the Yorkshire Dales. These walks travel along
green valleys, gritstone moors and untamed hillsides to explore remnants
of Lancashire's rich history: The War of the Roses, the Pendle witch
trials and the industrial heritage of the West Pennine Moors.
Providing detailed route description and clear OS mapping for all 40
walks, this guidebook includes an introduction full of information
about the area including accommodation, transport and access. The
appendices contain a route summary table to help you plan your days out,
while each walk offers notes on wildlife, history, geology and
available refreshments.
