Brock Bottom picnic area and nature reserve is a pretty site on the river Brock on the edge of the Forest of Bowland. There used to be a cotton mill here and several cottages for the workers. The mill was built in 1790 and eventually closed, by the 1930's the site was a ruin. You can still see some of the old buildings.
The walking along the river path either up or down stream is enjoyable. Upstream can be combined with Beacon Fell for a 7.5mile ish loop.
