What Trough of Bowland offers for Self-Catering Breaks
Staying in The Trough means a tranquil holiday, and exploring the surrounding area will lead you to pretty villages, moorland covered in heather, woodland and riverside walks. It’s also a great place for bird watching, especially when moorland birds come to breed in the springtime, such as peregrine falcons. A good example of a picture postcard village to visit in the locality is Abbeystead. Another is Dunsop Bridge, which attracts lots of hikers. In fact, this area is referred to as ‘Little Switzerland’. However, there are circular walks that would suit the average family. You can buy duck food from the village shop to feed the ducks in the river!
