North Bowland Traverse

Lancashire, N Yorkshire

48 km / 30 miles
A generally low-level walk through the north eastern Bowland Fells crossing farmland and meadowland. Although it is a fairly easy walk, it is best to go well-prepared, as much of the route is well away from any good roads and conditions can change rapidly.

It links with the Witches Way and Ribble Way at Slaidburn.
