i entering these columns a few weeks ago. One contributor wrote in praise of our countryside which prompted the Editor to invite suggestions regarding an itinerary for the visitor to our countryside. The response was somewhat disappointing. But. to be quite candid, we. of Ribblcs- dale and .Hodder valley, arc good examples of what i.s now a universal malady. I refer to apathy. We like to see things but arc content to turn on the T.V. and have it all brought to our firesides.


one must have a code of values utterly different to my own. At the same time I am willing to argue that such programmes as “Down Your Way” did little to reveal to listeners the indis­ putable and unrivalled qualities of which all Clitheronians at home or in exile arc so justifiably proud. Wc heard two brief remarks on gardens, a touch on the landscape, with no emphasis whatever on the natural charm and beauty which has done so much in attracting-finance and industry to Ribblesdale. All of which lends to a subject


ARMCHAIR VARIETY


We enjoy adventure but prefer the armchair variety. And. due lo


an inherent capacity, we all appreciate the beauty of the countryside but find the exer­


tion of going out-of-doors some­ what exhausting.


AGRICARE AGRICARE PRODUCTS, SANDWICH, KENT Similarly we all have our own


favourite walk, view, or stretch of woodland countryside and if faced with an opponent would defend our view no matter what the cost. Bui then the majority find the task of putting pen to paper rather overwhelming. In

more characteristic and beauti­ ful corners of our district. As we arfe looking at an exten­


sive area offering great appeal and variety suggestions must necessarily be brief. To give each trip a worthy discription would quite obviously require more space than l can reasonably expect. So brevity must not be taken as a guide to amenity. Therefore, if you are coming down our way, 1 would make it my business to discover what sort of country you wanted to .sen and also the general land­ scape with which you were fami­ liar. A person, for instance from the Home Counties would per­ haps appreciate our fast flowing streams and rivers or the falls and moorland. Others may be thrilled with the lush riverside pasture and woodlands. First on the list would be a look round Clitheroe. so far unspoilt by the

The pace must be leisurely, halting perhaps at Bashall to scan one of the most historical buildings near Clitheroe. Bashall Hall, not so well preserved as others but with associations vital enough to stimulate the imagi­ nation of the visitor. On each side as we approach Moss Barn the vast open landscape cannot fail to catch the eye and the walker will hesitate to take in the good clean air straight from the shoulder of Kemplc. Again wc are compelled to halt at Browsholme. to promise that we will return to spend more time within the Hall. On then to Cow- Ark. We hesitate. Shall cur way be via Middle Lees or Hall Hill. We wish to make an impression and go via Park Gate to the crest of Hall Hill to point out the various points of interest which lie below by the Hodder.

a 1 m o s t continuous flow of vehicles through its centre. I would emohasise, to our visitor, that much of its charm exists because of the lack of planning. Tlie builders in those days were not concerned in producing large concrete boxes. On the con­ trary thev gave us variety with n0 two roofs at the Same level. In this wav they avoided con­ formity which is the bane of our


civilisation. AUCTION MART


'Then we must not overlook a


v;Sit to the Auction Mart, which would serve as an introduction to our countryside. As our stay is confined to a week our visits villages and beauty spots have to be brief. The task is almost impossible, with so much to sec. A car is essential, as shank s ponv would leave many spots untouched and neglected. Also we have to plan our visit according to the season. I f the visit be made in Spring or Autumn then a ‘verv pleasant tour taking in The Green at Bolton-by-Bowland and Gisbttrn Mill Bridge, will give the tourist a. glimpse of the wonderful display of spring and aiitmhn tints provided by these stately and mature trees. Pre- samablv headquarters would be Clitheroc. From this point rould


LOVELY WHITEWELL But our choice takes us to


Whitewell where in this “Little Switzerland” we can Unger to our hearts* content, or if you prefer, just go a little down­ stream w h e r e the road is canopied by overhanging trees. All too quickly we hasten on past Burhohne to halt on the Trough Road. Again we promise a return to enjoy, at leisure, the way by Harden and Smelt Mill. From Dunsop we follow the


direction of Hodder to Newton and thence to Slaidburn. How time flies. We are then tempted to show our guests one or more of our delightful villages. Down- ham at .once comes to mind. Which shall it be? Waddington i.s a must for the itinerv. and from there wc go to West Brad­ ford. Grindlcton. and at Sawlcy turn to a favourite—Bolton-by- Bowland. Here we have most of the things expected in a village. Compact: shops, cottages. Hotel, stream, and Church, all within a stone’s throw of each other. What more to give a lasting memory of our countryside? And, there is so much more down your way which has escaped the B.B.C. Indeed, the fellow by the river or by the wayside will perhaps enrich your stay for seme of their personalities can reveal so much of the spirit of the place.
