River Ribble

Highlight • River

Flowing from the Yorkshire Dales towards the sea, the River Ribble passes through beautiful countryside. Archaeological findings suggest that people have lived along the river for thousands of years since Neolithic and Saxon times. 75 miles (121 km) in length, the river has the third largest tide in England. Its tides reach up to 4 knots and 8 meters (26 feet) during Spring times.

Ribchester Village

Highlight • Historical Site

On the lazily meandering River Ribble, the pretty village of Ribchester is steeped in history. Once the site of the Roman cavalry fort of Bremetennacum, there is evidence of human activity here dating back to Neolithic times. The Ribchester Roman Museum provides insight into Roman life in the region.

There are a number of footpaths to explore in the surrounding countryside, while the village is an important stop on the Ribble Way long-distance trail. You can seek accommodation at the Ribchester Arms or the Riverside Barn B&B. The Black Bull also serves food in the heart of the village.

Ribchester Arms

Highlight • Pub

A nice pub in the Ribble Valley with a large beer garden. Run by Robbinson's Brewery, there's a good selection of drinks and delicious food. The pub is open from noon until 11pm daily, with food served until 8pm. You can find more information, here: robinsonsbrewery.com/pubs-inns-and-hotels/find-a-pub/o-s/ribchesterarms

View from Jeffrey Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

A good test of fitness for the locals. If attacked from Ribchester it makes it one of the longest climbs in the area (although you do have to cross a road). The steepest side is from the north from Rock Brow and then up Forty Acre Lane (the initial 'ramp' on this peaks out at +25%, so take your lungs with you). The steep side is probably best avoided in icy conditions. If coming from the east you can also come up torturous Birdy Brow and join the climb half way along. Also, no shortage of views at the top.
