Brock Bottom picnic site and nature trails

Location: Claughton
Distance: 1 mile

Brock Bottom river beauty spot is a local hidden gem tucked away amongst the trees on the very western edge of the Forest of Bowland AONB.

Much of the river is very shallow and a popular place for families to visit, particularly in the warmer months, for scenic picnics and paddling opportunities. 

The area also includes some relaxing waterside and woodland trails to explore, including the ruins of an old cotton spinning mill, built around 1790.

To round up the day, why not head over to Cross Keys Inn in at Whitechapel. The pub makes a lovely stop for a post walk lunch and or refreshments before making your return journey home.
