Lancashire lies on the border next to Yorkshire and is known for an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) especially the Forest of Bowland. In the past, the two counties have held grudges against each other, and known as the ‘Roses rivalry’ derived from the historic Wars of the Roses. The war was fought between the House of Lancaster and the House of York. That being said, although this part of England isn’t necessarily the most celebrated for its walks/hikes, don’t let this fool you as Lancashire has so much more to offer whilst being surrounded by the National Parks of the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and Peak District; Guaranteed Views from all around. I personally really like the county, and will quite happily cross the border to discover more of what this area of natural outstanding beauty as the offer.

Below you will find the hikes/walks that have ratings of difficulty and contain mainly my own adventure stories, routes, GPX files and, photographs. I hope you too can discover the hidden gems that Lancashire has to offer.
