Samlesbury from the Nabs Head
Situated about 2 miles south of the Forest of Bowland, Samlesbury is a delightful little village with plenty of charm and character.
We did this walk in November so be prepared for it to be quite muddy. A bit of mud isn't a problem with the correct footwear and Autumn is perfect time to see the leaves falling off the trees and lining the floor like a golden carpet.
The route meets the River Darwen on a number of occasions and there are some fairly steep valleys to climb out off so at times the views of the surrounding Pennines and Forest of Bowland can be stunning.

The walk starts and finishes at the Nabs Head where you can park as long you pop in for a drink or food. If they're open let them know you've arrived and they'll be waiting to serve you with some delicious food when you make it back.
