Lower Gazegill Farm

The surrounding Ribble Valley is a fantastic destination for walking and cycling, and this farm site close to the border between Yorkshire and Lancashire is within easy reach of such hubs as Clitheroe (20 minutes), Skipton (20 minutes), Settle (25 minutes) and Barnoldswick (15 minutes). Pendle Hill can be seen in the distance (15 minutes), which is also well worth a visit, as is Gisburn Forest (25 minutes) with its waymarked cycling trails and fab forest hub. Happy to travel a bit further? Venture into the Yorkshire Dales National Park (from 20 minutes) for rambles around Malham (30 minutes), Bolton Abbey (30 minutes) or Grassington (35 minutes). Got kids to keep entertained? Take them down to Bowland Wild Boar Park (40 minutes) to snuffle around with the animals, or instead point them in the direction of Wacky World (45 minutes), an indoor inflatable park in Preston. Other kid-friendly options include bowling (25 minutes), cinema trips (25 minutes) or heading to the large indoor pool on the outskirts of Skipton (20 minutes).
