You don’t have to travel far from Manchester to immerse yourself in stunning countryside. Just an hour’s drive away lies the Forest of Bowland, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty featuring impressive fells, deep valleys and moorland.
Located at the southern end of the Forest of Bowland in the Ribble Valley is the picturesque village of Chipping. Dating back at least 1,000 years, the village is a conservation area full of historical features and has won several best-kept village competitions over the years.
If you take a stroll around Chipping you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. There are dozens of stone-built cottages, many of which date back to the 1600 and 1700s.
