Here in the Forest of Bowland adjacent to the River Ribble is Shireburne Park. This beautiful setting is the perfect place to relax in the fresh air, walk the hills, stroll along the River Ribble or explore the many ancient villages. The quiet country lanes of the Trough of Bowland will lead you to the official Centre of the Kingdom at Dunsop Bridge and the renowned Inn at Whitewell. Exploration by car, on foot or by bike is a real pleasure with many country inns, market towns and historic sites such as Stonyhurst College, Clitheroe Castle and Whalley Abbey all nearby.
