Garden Cottage

Clitheroe and the Ribble Valley, North West England

🚆 Nearest station: · 3.0 mi

Tucked away in the Ribble Valley near Clitheroe, Garden Cottage is a cosy bolt-hole for two, perfect if you're after a quiet escape in the Lancashire countryside. It makes a handy base for exploring this corner of North West England at your own pace.

History lovers are well placed here, with Gawthorpe Textiles Collection and Gawthorpe Hall both within easy reach, and Clitheroe Castle Museum not much further. Whalley station is nearby if you'd rather leave the car behind, and the River Ribble at Edisford Bridge is within reach too, though it's worth knowing the water quality there is currently rated poor, so it's better suited to a riverside stroll than a swim.
