Chipping
Chipping is a picturesque village in
the heart of the beautiful Ribble Valley, on the edge
of the Trough of Bowland, in Lancashire. This is an
area which is outstanding for cycling and walking. Just
9 miles from Clitheroe and 12 miles from Preston, Chipping
is the ideal base from which to explore some of the
most stunning parts of England and is just over an hour's
drive from the Lake District. This cottage and the surrounding
area are a beautiful setting for your holiday in Lancashire!
A well kept secret to many, this picturesque
Lancashire village has won a number of best kept village
competitions over the years.
The village is known
to be at least 1,000 years old and is named in the Domesday
book as 'Chippenden' ~ the name coming from the medieval
'Chepyn' meaning market place.
Chipping really thrived during the
Industrial Revolution when there were seven mills located
along Chipping Brook. Today only one survives - the
famous chairmaking factory of H.J.Berry - where furniture
has been designed and made since the 1890’s.
The Trough Of Bowland is both a delight and a pleasure
with its rolling pastures, working farmland and dense
forestry. The area is classed as “an area of outstanding
natural beauty” and it certainly lives up to expectation.
The Forest of Bowland occupies most of the north east
of Lancashire. It consists of barren gritstone fells,
deep valleys and peat moorland. It's an attractive alternative
to the overcrowded Lake District, and today this grouse
moorland is also used for walking and cycling.
The name 'forest' is used in its traditional
sense of 'a royal hunting ground', and much of the land
still belongs to the Crown. In the past wild boar, deer,
wolves, wild cats and game roamed the forest. The origins
of the name Bowland most likely came from the long-standing
connection of the region with archery - the 'land of
the bow'.
Just to the North of the village the
access areas of Clougha, Fair Snape, Wolf Fell and Saddle
Fell have been opened up to the public by access agreements
negotiated between Lancashire County Council and the
owners. This means that over 3,260 acres of open country
is now open to walkers.
Ribble Valley Food Trail
Ribble Valley conjures up images of
quaint villages and stunning countryside, but it is
also home to some of Lancashire’s best food and drink.
An array of wonderful foods - meat
from traditional Lancashire breeds, organic milk and
cheese, yogurt and ice-cream, handmade chocolate, pies
and pastries, and a feast of fruit and vegetables packed
with natural flavour - can be found at shops and restaurants
along the borough’s leafy lanes and in its historic
towns and villages.
The Ribble Valley Food Trail, which
is the brainchild of Ribble Valley Borough Council,
aims to put the spotlight on the area’s food producers
as part of the area’s ongoing recovery from the 2001
foot and mouth epidemic.
The trail is supported by Taste Lancashire,
the campaign of events and activities being co-ordinated
by the Lancashire and Blackpool Tourist Board aimed
at promoting Lancashire produce.
An independent panel comprising food
and tourism experts and writers from throughout Ribble
Valley compiled the trail, which features 36 restaurants,
inns, shops and delicatessens with an unswerving commitment
to local produce, high quality foodstuffs and excellent
customer service.
