Clougha and Over Wyresdale, Lancaster

Clougha, Quernmore in Lancaster - Clougha Pike (413 metres) is part of an Access Area which, including the Wardstone and Tarnbook, covers some 1,717 acres. Access Areas are areas of open country whereby under agreements between individual land owners and the County Council walkers are given the freedom to roam the moors and fells. However, dogs are NOT allowed, even on a lead. The high gritstone moors are a unique place for bird-watching.

Over Wyresdale - This south eastern part of Lancaster District is the approach to the Trough of Bowland and has a beauty of its own, especially in August, when the fells are covered with the heather in bloom. Look out for the hamlet of Abbeystead, and the nearby Abbeystead estate, owned by the Duke of Westminster.
