Holden is situated less than a mile from the historic village of Bolton-by-Bowland, first recorded in the Doomsday book in the 11th Century, where you can find the celebrated Coach and Horses serving good food and locally crafted beers, or you can spoil yourself at the Coach House Beauty Retreat. This wonderful area offers an array of activities, walks over the fells and through endless green fields with a wide variety of local pubs serving food to satisfy a weary walkers belly. The winding country lanes take you through the Ribble Valley, Trough of Bowland and onto the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and Fylde Coast making this a mecca for cyclists and walkers of all abilities. Nearby Gisburn Forest has an abundance of walking and cycling routes as well as some fantastic fishing on the stocks reservoir that surrounds it. Pendle Hill has some great hikes for the more hardy of walkers and for those seeking a challenge, the Yorkshire Three Peaks, Ingleton Falls are also within easy reach. Other country pursuits such as horse riding, golf and even clay pigeon shooting are all offered close by.
The market town of Clitheroe, 7 miles, with its Norman Fort standing proud, has a fantastic selection of independent boutiques, restaurants and bars. Head to Holmes Mill and peruse the magnificent food hall for some local, seasonal produce. During your stay you can also treat yourself to a sumptuous tasting menu at the Michelin star restaurant Northcote Manor or indulge in a spa day at Stanley House. Skipton, known as the gateway to the Dales, 14 miles, is another great day out with shops, restaurants and cafes dotted along cobbled streets running alongside the canal. Then drive on a few more miles to the beautiful village of Grassington, where they recently filmed All Creatures Great and Small, filled with local boutiques, cafes and restaurants. When you’re finished exploring, relax, and simply take in the stunning countryside views right from your very own doorstep.
