Just a few of the places to visit and things to do
Have a no-car day
(We'll dry your clothes and shoes when you get back)
Bike It - Book a bike (we can pre-order the wheels for you)
Walk It - There are lots of public footpaths in our area, two go through our farm. We have maps and walk books you can borrow.
Take a look at our walking and cycling page for just a sample of the walks and cycle rides available.
Bus It - There's a bus stop at our farm road entrance. Bus time tables are available in your rooms. And there is the famous Pendle Witch Hopper .
Train It - Clitheroe Interchange and Whalley train station are close. Buses from Sabden go to both. Train timetables are in your rooms' welcome folders.
Sport It - Golf, crown green bowling, fishing, Pendle Ski Slope,
para and hang gliding, horse riding are all within three miles. Bridle
paths run near our farm. Dozens of footpaths criss cross Sabden and the
surrounding hills.
Clitheroe Castle, with its newly refurbished museum and 12th century keep, are a must not just for the history but
also for the magnificent views over Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley.
Also for history buffs are the Abbeys of Whalley and Sawley.
In both cases, in addition to the ruins, there are riverside walks, country pubs and at Whalley plenty of interesting shops and a vibrant Farmers Market.
We have attractive villages aplenty in the Forest of
Bowland and Pendle. In addition to our near neighbours Downham, Worston,
Pendleton, Higham and Fence, there are Waddington and Slaidburn which are
all well worth a visit - as is Chipping.
If you like Historic Houses visit Samlesbury Hall and Browsholme Hall. A good family day out can be enjoyed at the Bowland Wild Boar Park.
If fine food is your thing then you will find everything you could want The Ribble Valley Food Trail (PDF 3.0mb) |
