The Freedom To Roam walking guides celebrate the arrival of our new legal rights to walk at will on mountain top, moorland and heath in England and Wales.

This well-illustrated guide contains directions and Ordnance Survey maps for fourteen new walks through the Forest of Bowland, Pendle and the Lancashire moors.

Central to the battle for the right to roam and in many cases accessible for the first time, this area offers walkers the delights of open moorlands, high rolling hills and wooded ravines.

Quite simply - a stunning and breathtaking walk of 27 miles and 3,000 feet of ascent through remote countryside in the Forest of Bowland. The views from the summits are extensive - up to 60 miles. The route, a mixture of moorland and summits has no refreshment or accomodation en-route and so you must be self-sufficient.

You should allow 10 - 12 hours for the circuit and the successful can obtain a special embroidered badge and signed certificate from John Merrill.
