Walking in the Ribble Valley
The Ribble Way
Ribble Valley is ideal for walking the 'Ribble Way'.
This way marked 70 miles (113km) long route follows the course of the River Ribble from its source at Ribblehead, high in the Yorkshire Dales, to the estuary at Preston.
The route passes through a variety of landscapes including limestone gorge, open moorland and tidal marsh. To walk the whole way is a challenge for the most intrpid walkers but it can be walked in sections.
Visit Edisford Picnic Site in Clitheroe and you'll see the beautifully commissioned plinth and plaque, by the Rotary Club of Ribblesdale, which depicts the River Ribble from source to sea.
For further information about these walks including guide books and ordnance survey maps please contact Clitheroe Tourist Information Centre.
