Stunning views — in clear air you can see the seaside as far as Lytham and even Blackpool Tower. On some days, ultralight planes pass overhead, adding a unique attraction. They glide close like giant birds — always a pleasure to watch.

Path is straightforward and accessible in dry weather. My 10-year-old granddaughter managed it easily — a good relaxed hike.

short, sharp trip up to the fells

At the summit of Nicky Nook, runners are rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. On a clear day, it is possible to see across the Forest of Bowland and even catch glimpses of the distant Lake District and Morecambe Bay.

Paddy's Pole is the name of the cairn on Fair Snape Fell. There is a trig point and shelter here as well as the pole topped cairn at 510m. It's the highest point in the south-west area of the Forest of Bowland and therefore offers awesome views over Blackpool and out to sea as well as inland over the Forest of Bowland and south to Preston.

Parlick Fell is a great little summit at 432m. It's quite a conical shape which makes it a good high point and a great hill for kids wo like a mountain.

The trig point on Hazelhurst Fell stands at 429m. It's lower than Holme Fell to the east but that one doesn't have a trig. Standing at the south-western edge of the Forest of Bowland highland you get amazing views out over Blackpool to the Irish Sea.
