Connect Clitheroe with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Clitheroe to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Clitheroe’s Slow Ways.

The first 1.5km are urban pavement walking with a good surface. Beyond Standen Hall a good footpath takes you to a quiet B road before the tricky A59 crossing. A bit of road walking into the pretty village of Pendleton before a footpath heads off across fields to Wymondhouses....

Nice route avoiding roads. Clear footpaths. A bit wet in parts but to be expected given the wet July....

This just allows you to walk one side of a triangle instead of two. Historical features of the walk include the 14th century abbey and grounds in Whalley and the 12th century castle in Clitheroe.....
greengibbo77
The route is pleasant (in a walking along a not too busy road sort of way) and it is entirely wheel friendly. The scenery between Whalley and Clitheroe is varied and interesting....
Stearsb
Nice short pleasant walk along the bank of the river Ribble...
Mr Snail
Walking from Chatburn the start of the footpath is a bit tricky to find as it starts part way along a house driveway, there is a FP sign on a utility pole. You will encounter gates, kissing gates, steps, and one section of uneven stony ground (it looked quite polished so it could be slippy when damp)....
Stearsb
This is a great route with a bit of uphill walking affording spectacular views across the Ribble Valley and Pendle....

Mark Sutcliffe added Slacli two, a new walk from Slaidburn to Clitheroe
Walk this routeThis route is a very nice stroll for the most part along the banks of the River Ribble (part of the Ribble Way) and is therefor a well established path popular with dog walkers....
Ian Metcalfe
Between Clitheroe and Hurst Green, this is largely easy-going terrain with no real navigational issues; there are a few gates, stiles and narrow footbridges and the climb from the river up to Hurst Green includes some rough and muddy steps....
Burnroyd
Burnroyd added Longcli two, a new walk from Longridge to Clitheroe
Walk this routeWhilst the route is clear, in that it largely follows the main road, there is a significantly lower density of waypoints than is typical, which I do not think is in keeping with most of the other Slow Ways routes....
