Is the Forest of Bowland worth visiting?

We highly recommend visiting the Forest of Bowland during your stay at Moss Wood Caravan Park. It has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and boasts dramatic scenery, whatever the weather. The name often causes confusion, because there is not an abundance of trees as you would expect! Rather, the area consists of a vast estate made up of farmland, moorland and striking green hills. There is plenty to see and do throughout the year for all the family. It’s popular with cyclists and hikers due to the abundance of trails of varying abilities on offer. There are lots of habitats on offer make it a popular spot for wildlife watching. The Forest of Bowland has Dark Sky Discovery Site status and is one of the best stargazing locations in the North West. If you’d prefer to explore the area at a leisurely pace, you can visit one of the picturesque villages dotted throughout the Trough of Bowland. You’ll find a wide selection of pubs, cafes and restaurants to enjoy.
