Location, location, location. Perfectly set on the River Ribble which is spectacular. In the middle of nowhere but at the same time only six miles to Tesco and the Deepdale centre. Lots of small roads to wander down from the property, even better if you like cycling on country roads with little traffic. Lots to do in the area, we went to Gisburn FoRead morerest for a walk and it also boasted a MTB centre. Had an amazing meal in the Bowland Beer Hall (an old cotton mill) at Holmes Mill in Clitheroe.
