The Walk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To be able to walk from the door and immediately be amongst some lovely countryside was the main motivation for moving to Long Preston over twenty years ago. Long Preston beck is close by but it is along the lanes further afield which is so enjoyable. The outbound lane (Langber) takes you to the waterfall at Scaleber Force. Enjoy the views towards Attermire Scar and the Settle limestone cliffs. On the return Moor Lane rises from Settle to provide lovely views across the River Ribble towards Pendle Hill. In fact the views stretch towards the Coniston Fells in the Lake District on a good day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Langber Lane was the main road between Skipton and Lancaster over 100 years ago but now leads only to the lonely outpost of Bookilber Barn. However the forestry commission (and others) have utilized 100 acres of land near the lane as part of a mass growth of replanting and recreating the forests of old. This woodland, named Hawes, is in its infancy but in 10 to 20 years I would be expecting an established eco system of birds and small animals living under the woodland mix of birch, rowan and oak trees. When Hawes is combined with the similarly forward thinking Long Preston Deeps<\/a> programme on the floodplain of the River Ribble it provides a great example of what can be done to protect and improve an already lovely area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommend <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A short detour off the road above Settle brings the delightful wooded copse enclosing Scaleber Force. It is particularly impressive after the rains. The falls are set amongst some attractive woodland. They are over fifteen metres high and fall in a set of ledges, almost like a rollercoaster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the area I hold my Navigation Training courses<\/a>. The participants have all tramped the lanes, walked the paths and crossed some pathless countryside. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The lanes above Long Preston offer a wonderful selection of walks which will suit all walkers.
