Outdoors
Did you know 80% of Lancashire is rural? Lancashire’s rambling countryside, challenging moorland and extensive waterways make it a natural habitat for outdoor explorers and adrenaline seekers.
Whether you ski, sail, climb or jump – you’ll get a taste for adventure in Lancashire.
If you love walking and cycling, we have two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) to conquer, including the majestic Pendle Hill, world renowned for the tale of the Pendle Witches. The Forest of Bowland (AONB) is a beautiful landscape of remote fells, riverside rambles, stunning wildlife, heritage and a number of traditional Lancashire villages and local shops selling a range of products and produce. There is a calendar of events throughout the year where you can discover more.
Why not treat yourself along the way? Lancashire has a great choice of quality cafés, pubs and restaurants that give a warm Lancastrian welcome. In fact, why not stay and make a short break of it, we have plenty of places where you can recharge your batteries before setting out on your next big adventure.
