From breathtaking vistas and valleys to star studded skies, it’s the perfect environment for lovers of the outdoors, heritage and delicious food and drink. It’s a place to enjoy and keep special and if you do fall in love with the Ribble Valley, you’ll be in the best of company; the Queen told her biographer that she and Prince Philip would like to retire here. The area is great for cyclists, with wonderful quiet lanes, or for those with a mountain bike, over the moors and through wide open forests. Nearby Gisburn Forest has miles of mountain bike trails for all skill levels. Walking is also a very popular way to get to know the area and there’s a good network of public rights of way within the area. The annual Bowland Festival plus the Pendle Walking Festival and Wyre’s Pathway events are good ways to begin exploring the landscape – whatever your ability.
The Old Woodshed is adjacent to Barnsfold Waters, a beautiful trout fishery set in a stunning location. Fly fishing only with expert tuition and boat hire are available by prior arrangement and at cost, it makes for a wonderful day out. And for something a little different, the Bowland Forest Gliding Club is also on the doorstep. The Ribble Valley is fast gaining a name for itself as a gastro destination, with many discerning pubs and restaurants in the local area, using local produce which, in turn, has reinvigorated traditional farming and artisan food production. There’s a world of wonderful places to dine in the surrounding area from fine dining gastropubs and artisan brewers to the very best fish and chip restaurants. The delightful owners of The Old Woodshed, being passionate foodies themselves, can offer a range of delicious home cooked meals (payable locally) for the odd night you decide to stay in. Excellent local pubs are a 2-minute drive away with Longridge, the gateway to the Ribble Valley, just 5 miles away.
