Hiking
On the banks of the picturesque River RIbble and just within the Forest of Bowland AONB, Sawley is a delightful little village for walkers. There are many fine hiking routes in the area, from the moors to the north and Pendle Hill, which is seen beautifully to the south.
In the village are the ruins of a former Cistercian monastery, Sawley Abbey, which was established in 1147 by William de Percy. All your accommodation and sustenance needs are met by the Spread Eagle, an excellent country pub.
