In the Forest of Bowland, traditional cheese presses are significant historical artifacts that highlight the region's rich dairy heritage. These stone structures were essential in the cheese-making process, used to press curds and whey into solid cheese forms. Several restored cheese presses can be found along local hiking trails, offering a glimpse into the area's agricultural past.
This one is at New Laund Farm: Near Whitewell in the Ribble Valley, and dates back to around 1860. It provides insight into 19th-century cheese production methods.
