Join us for a welcome return to the Trough of Bowland, a wonderfully wild area in the heart of the Lancashire countryside near the market town of Clitheroe, and sitting just west of the Yorkshire Dales and south of the Lake District.
We will be staying in Smelt Mill, a set of converted 19th century cottages, and up the road from the village of Dunsop Bridge which claims to be at the exact geographical centre of the British Isles. There are plenty of walking opportunities with two full days to explore remote and open moorland and the area around Pendle Hill in the Ribble Valley.
