The Forest of Bowland National Landscape covers 312 square miles of rural Lancashire and adjacent Yorkshire. From Hurst Green in the south to Wennington in the North, the Forest of Bowland is dotted with charming stone villages, some of which date as far back as pre-historic times.

The viewpoint on Jeffrey Hill is at 262m. Great views north onto the Forest of Bowland and west out over Morecombe Bay. If you ride up to the higher point on the road to the southeast you can also see across to Pendle Hill.
The road up to this point from the north is hard work but the climb isn't long. Descending from here is great.

This is a really tough climb from the North. Very steep and long, although you can ry and distract yourself with the amazing view back down into Bowland.
