All seasons A place for:

At the Centre of the Kingdom lies the hidden gem that is Ribble Valley. Wide open space, stunning countryside, a place of freedom and fresh air, somewhere to escape the everyday. With its picturesque villages, soul-soothing countryside Ribble Valley is somewhere rather special—and certainly worth a visit.

Whatever the season there is always something to discover and new experiences to be enjoyed. The colours of the valley change with the seasons, each presenting a different perspective on our stunning landscapes. Spring sees the arrival of playful lambs, the fresh colours of new bulbs and fresh green buds bursting out into leaf from their hibernation. This is a time for walks out into the countryside to witness nature waking from a winter sleep.

The lazy days of Summer, bring scenes of dappled shade and time to relax outdoors, to paddle in tumbling streams and laze in pub gardens after a riverside stroll.

When Autumn arrives, rich colours adorn the landscape and the fells turn a beautiful brown. The days may get shorter but autumn walking can often be the most exhilarating.

In Winter the days may be short but easily extended next to the warmth of a log fire and a hearty meal, after that walk in the crisp countryside. Our winter landscapes can be simply breath-taking with a crisp white frost and a silvery mist hanging in the valley.
