Set within a beautiful 62-acre park in the heart of the Forest of Bowland and the Ribble Valley, Bowland Escapes is just 2.5 miles from the rural village of Chipping and 9 miles from the historic market town of Clitheroe, famous for its 12th-century castle, independent shops and traditional tearooms.

Perfect for guests seeking tranquillity, Bowland Escapes is a Dark Sky–accredited site, far removed from the bright lights and noise of towns and cities. Here, you can truly relax and reconnect with nature under some of the clearest night skies in the region.

Nestled within the ancient woodland of New Ground Wood, the park is home to a rich variety of birds and wildlife. It’s a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers, and sightings of wild deer grazing nearby are not uncommon.

During your stay, enjoy FREE access to Bowland Wild Boar Park (excluding ‘Bring Your Own Tent’ stays). Located just a short walk away beside the River Hodder, the park offers a fantastic opportunity to experience even more wildlife and is a wonderful way to start your Forest of Bowland adventure.
