Lancashire boasts two sizeable Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The larger is the Forest of Bowland, with an area of 310 square miles (800km²), and this, plus the ‘bewitching’ countryside of Pendle to the south, is the region covered in this book.

These areas provide vastly differing terrain – from the lush farmlands of the Ribble valley to the more rugged rough pastures of the Forest of Bowland uplands and the huge boggy uplifts of the main Bowland massif itself. It’s all wonderfully wild walking country.

Walks include four ‘Marilyns’ – Ward’s Stone, Pendle Hill, Longridge Fell and Fair Snape Fell
All walks illustrated with OS mapping and colour photos, and provide information on the natural and cultural history of the region – from wild flowers to witches
