Ribble Way - Accommodation booking & luggage 

The Ribble Way follows the 70 mile course of the lovely River Ribble and its valley from the sea near Preston in Lancashire, through the Forest of Bowland to its source on Cam Fell in North Yorkshire.

The Ribble Way starts at Longton on the salt marshes of the estuary and passes onto the plains between Preston and Clitheroe. The Ribble Way then explores higher ground towards the Lancashire border and up to its source in North Yorkshire.

The Ribble Valley has a fascinating history with evidence of Roman roads, ancient abbeys, 14th century halls and numerous landmarks from the industrial revolution many of which have been incorporated into the route. The route is fully waymarked with the Ribble way logo making it easy to follow. 

Highlights include the Roman remains and museum at Ribchester, remains of Sawley Abbey founded by the Cistercian monks in 1147, the market town of Settle and the Ribblehead Viaduct. 

Tell us how far you want to walk, whether you want a rest day and any other particular requirements. We help you plan the stages, make b & b bookings, pay b & b's, make arrangements for packed lunches and evening meals (in more remote areas) and also arrange the transfer your luggage. We visit all the accommodation and have carefully selected the farms, guest houses, pubs and hotels we use. They are all comfortable and welcome walkers. Almost all rooms have en suite or private bathrooms (very occasionally in more remote areas this isn’t possible).
