Around and about

Waddington

Waddington is just one of many beautiful villages in the Ribble Valley, but it is one of the best. Its babbling brook, ancient church and celebrated Coronation Gardens have earned the village the title of 'Best Kept Village in Lancashire' on many occasions and taken it to the top of the picture postcard sales league!

But that is only half the story. With three pubs, two churches, a post office, a village cricket field, bowling green, and village school, Waddington is the very model of a thriving rural community.

Waddington sits very comfortably in the lower reaches of the Forest of Bowland area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a landscape of stunning scenery and changing moods, wild heather moorlands criss-crossed by deep, lush river valleys and dotted with charming unspoilt villages.

Whether it's walking, fishing, cycling, mountain biking, bird watching, shooting or simply relaxing there are fewer places to be. The Forest of Bowland is one of Mother Nature's most beautiful and best equipped playgrounds.

The historic market town of Clitheroe is just a mile and a half away. Dominated by its castle and somewhat battered Norman Keep the town has somehow managed to avoid the worst ravages of commercial development and maintained a truly unique atmosphere. There are lots of specialist shops with interesting names that can cater to almost every whim.
