Nothing beats heading out on a long walk through the countryside at this time of year - and it’s even better if a cosy pub meal is involved. It can be tempting to stay inside as the weather turns cooler, but it’s well worth wrapping up warm and venturing out into the great outdoors and seeing what there is to explore on our doorstep.
Only an hour’s drive away from Greater Manchester is the stunning Forest of Bowland, an area of outstanding natural beauty with forests, hills and moorland. This unspoilt stretch of Lancashire countryside has miles of walks you can do, taking in the incredible surroundings.
There’s a circular walk you can follow which allows you to visit two of the area’s charming villages: Downham and Chatburn. Along the way you will pass through breath taking countryside and enjoy the views from Worsaw Hill.
