About Forest of Bowland
The Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) covers a large block of upland Lancashire, and most of the county's quietest holiday cottages sit inside it. Despite the name there is little forest here in the modern sense: it is open gritstone fell, heather moorland and deep valleys, an old royal hunting ground rather than woodland. Designated in 1964 and covering about 803 square kilometres across Lancashire and a corner of North Yorkshire, the Lancashire side holds around 185 of the self-catering cottages on this page.
The Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Designated in 1964 and now also known as the Forest of Bowland National Landscape, this is one of the wilder protected landscapes in northern England, covering about 803 square kilometres of fell and farmland; the larger part lies in Lancashire. The high ground is millstone grit, capped with blanket bog and heather moor, and it falls away into the steep, green valleys of the rivers Hodder and Ribble. A detached block to the south takes in Pendle Hill, famous for the 1612 witch trials. It stays a working upland of hill sheep, grouse moor and small stone villages, looked after by the Forest of Bowland National Landscape team.
Where to stay in the Forest of Bowland AONB
The cottages are scattered through the valley villages and the hamlets along the fell edge, and most of Lancashire's Bowland places sit well inside the protected area:
- Slaidburn: a stone village on the River Hodder, about as close to the middle of Bowland as you can stay
- Newton-in-Bowland: a small Hodder-side village a mile or so downstream from Slaidburn
- Chipping: an old market village under the southern fells, with mills and a long history
- Bolton by Bowland: a pretty village of greens and stone cottages in the Ribble valley
- Waddington: a tidy village with a brook running down its main street, just above Clitheroe
- Sabden and Downham: villages on the Pendle Hill side of the AONB, Downham barely changed in centuries
- Great Mitton: a small village where the Hodder meets the Ribble, with a fine old church
- Hurst Green and Bashall Eaves: quiet settlements on the southern, wooded edge of the fells
- Sawley: a riverside hamlet by the ruins of Sawley Abbey
- Gisburn Forest: forestry and mountain-bike trails around Stocks Reservoir
- Scorton: a village on the north-western edge, handy for the fells above the Trough
Landscape and landmarks
The heart of the area is the high gritstone plateau, where Ward's Stone rises to about 561 metres as the highest point in Bowland. The classic crossing is the Trough of Bowland, a steep mountain pass on the narrow road between Dunsop Bridge and Lancaster, with the fells closing in on either side. To the south stands Pendle Hill, a long whaleback of about 557 metres tied to the story of the 1612 witches and to George Fox's vision of the Quakers. The valleys of the Hodder and the Ribble thread between the moors, green and wooded after the bare tops. At the centre of it all, Dunsop Bridge is reckoned the nearest village to the geographic centre of Great Britain.
Walking in Bowland
This is proper hill walking, quieter than the Lakes or the Dales and all the better for it. The fells were among the last in England to be opened to walkers, and the high moor now carries open-access routes over tops such as Ward's Stone and Fair Snape Fell. Long-distance trails cross the area too: the Ribble Way follows the river up from the lowlands, and the regional Lancashire Cycleway and the Pendle Way take in the southern hills around Pendle. A cottage in one of the valley villages puts you within a short drive of the open fell, the Trough and the reservoirs.
