Forest of Bowland

The Forest of Bowland stretches across of the hills of western Pennines in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is a moorland of barren gritstone fells, deep valleys and peat beds. The hills are known as the Bowland Fells.

Less known and less visited than others of Yorkshire's dramatic landscapes, the Forest of Bowland boasts fine views, good, rough walking and rich grouse moors.
