landmarks Lancashire’s most loved Walk, cycle or even paraglide in some of the
county’s most beautiful landscapes. Whether you love panoramic views or are captivated by flora and fauna, Lancashire is the county with it all.
Longridge Fell Just a short drive from Longridge, this beautiful area is a great place for people of all walking abilities to explore. It’s also a popular place with gliders and paragliders, due to its steep drop off on one side, and has lovely views across the county and beyond.
Fylde Sand Dunes This special part of the coastline is one that locals are working hard to protect. It is one of only a few sand dune systems that have survived – over 80 per cent of Lancashire sand dunes have been lost over the past 150 years. The 80 hectare stretch, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and Lancashire’s first designated Local Nature Reserve, is home to more than 150 species of butterflies and moths as well as breeding birds. Nicky Nook You’ll often find the fellside busy with people on this popular walk on a clear day. Starting in Scorton village, follow country lanes and footpaths to the summit where you will see gorgeous views of the Fylde Coast, Blackpool Tower, Morecambe Bay and the fells in the Lake District. On the way back you can walk past Grizedale Reservoir and peaceful woodland before arriving back in the village.
Pendle Hill The story of the witches trial, more than 400 years ago, is woven through the landscape and the hill made famous by witchcraft, mist and mystery, casts its spell over the Ribble Valley. You can tackle the steep end of the hill from Barley, going through the Newchurch-in-Pendle village, which is the home of the Demdike family, one of the families accused of witchcraft.
