Helks Brow Climb – Lowgill Fell

Highlight • Trail

Nothing but space and skies. Amazingly quiet and remote spot on the Yorkshire/Lancashire borders in the Forest of Bowland with a tough climb at either end of this road.

Good café, regularly frequented by cyclists. seating inside and outside by the river. Bikes are pretty secure as the whole area is off the road behind a wall/gate.
Open 10:00 - 17:00 but closed on Mondays.
