The Lower Ribble Valley offers dramatic scenery as it cuts through the Pennine hills, and much of the locality falls within the Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The ruins of Whalley Abbey are well worth a visit, as is the prosperous market town of Clitheroe. Pendle Hill is famous for the so called witches, who were executed at Lancaster Castle in the early 1600s, and these days also has a great reputation for outdoor pursuits, and is particularly popular with hang-gliders, skiers and walkers.
