My Best Walks in Lancashire
Where to walk in Lancashire? Some years ago my wife and I decided that, particularly in winter, spending half the day driving up to the Lakes was a bit of a waste and so started looking more closely at Lancashire walks. As my blog has become a bit more regular, this list will, hopefully, grow longer with time. There won’t be any big mountains cos there aren’t any in Lancashire and also because my knee hurts when descending. The focus will be on The Ribble Valley, Pendle, Forest of Bowland and The West Pennine Moors.
Hope you enjoy them anyway.
