Enter the Trough of Bowland, Lancashire

A steep valley and high pass that cuts into the hills of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Lancashire, the Trough of Bowland connects Lancaster to the west with the village of Dunsop Bridge in the heart of the Forest of Bowland.


At its high point, the Trough reaches 968 feet, before descending through high sided valleys populated only by walkers, sheep and the odd farm in an area that has been popular with cyclists for some time, it's inevitable that they have also started to plague the area, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
