Hiking

Paddy's Pole is the name of the cairn on Fair Snape Fell. There is a trig point and shelter here as well as the pole topped cairn at 510m. It's the highest point in the south-west area of the Forest of Bowland and therefore offers awesome views over Blackpool and out to sea as well as inland over the Forest of Bowland and south to Preston.

Hiking

Path is straightforward and accessible in dry weather. My 10-year-old granddaughter managed it easily — a good relaxed hike.
