Downham Village

Highlight • Pub

Amazing little village with excellent pub (Assheton Arms). The entire village has been owned by one family since 1558 so every property is rented. No satellite dishes are permitted, overhead cables or road signs. There isn’t even a village sign. Was the village where they filmed Whistle Down the Wind.

Hernside Road to Halton Gill – View of Pen-y-Ghent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Whether coming from Stainforth or Malham, the hardest part is done by the time you get to the Hernside Road junction, so enjoy the scenery and the quiet road behind Pen-y-Ghent.

View of the River Ribble and Stone Bridge

Beautiful old bridge crossing the River Ribble. Next to the crossing is the pretty village of Sawley with the Spread Eagle, an excellent country pub.

Nick of Pendle

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A good climb from either side. Climbing it from the north is my favoured route (7% 1.3 miles). For those wanting a break try the Wellsprings Café / Spanish Mexican Restaurant, about half way up from the North.
