vclitheroeadvertiser.co.uk - ■ '.©SR'-.- Lhe.walk.9 . Clitheroo Advertiser&TImes,Thursday, December8,2011 . 31 ■ Scenic Slaidbum


SLAIDBURN is the centre of pourism in the Forest of Bowland, vhich actually means very little


p s this is a quiet area which is still unspoilt by the lesser unsavoury


elements of the tourist industry. . j It is a pretty place with a village green, the superb church of St Andrew's and the Hark to Bounty b, all set on the embryonic


|River Hodder and near to Stock's fReservoir.


South of Slaidburn there is


some excellent moorland walking and Stock's and Gisburn Forest are nearby, but I have chosen a pleasant walk up Croasdale Brook through the small woods to the north of the village. The walk passes the Mytton Craft Centre before crossing fields to the pretty woods around Croasdale House. The track then turns back on itself and in general follows the line


of the river but takes to the land higher on the east side. The views get better with Stocks glimpsed and Gisburn Forest spotted, whilst to the west, the great moorlands circling the Trough of Bowland can be seen to good effect. The final views over Slaidburn are excellent and the village does offer a pleasant conclusion to this walk through a largely forgotten and certainly rarely visited area.


Walk this way


OS Map: O/S 1.25,000. OL41 Forest of Bowland & Ribblesdale STARTING POINT: 713523. There is a car park just over the bridge when entering


Slaidburn. The walk starts up the 2nd right turn in the village before a path leads in to the woods.


TERRAIN: The farmland after the woods can be wet and was when I did the walk, low lying farmland often is. The paths though are fairly obvious to follow.


EATING AND DRINKING: Choose from the excellent Hark to Bounty inn or local tea shop. All are good.
