Video Highlights
VisitLancashire: Clitheroe
The ancient market town of Clitheroe in the Ribble Valley is a perfect place to stay for visitors wishing to explore Lancashire's Forest of Bowland, one of England's 36 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Clitheroe actually dates back to Saxon times so by the time the imposing 12th century Norman Castle that towers over the town had been built, Clitheroe had already been around for nearly 1,000 years!
