A little more information on Clitheroe

Chatburn is a settlement, civil parish, and electoral ward in East Lancashire's Ribble Valley, and it's a great home base for visiting the nearby Forest of Bowland and Pendle Hill. This picturesque village dates back to the Anglo-Saxon era and was named after one of the most notable figures of the time, St. Chad. It is conveniently located near many amazing attractions and modern conveniences. The town's Post Office was damaged during World War II but has since been restored, making it the ideal site to pick up some necessities while also taking in the area's rich history as you wait for your mail. Take a trip down the River Ribble, and you'll come across two pubs, a Chinese takeout, and an ice cream parlour, not to mention a convenience shop in the hamlet for your own cooking needs. Visit Pendle Hill, famously associated with the 1612 witch trials, and stroll along the 43-mile-long Pendle Way, or connect with sections of the Bronte Way to see even more of this beautiful region. Don't forget to spend some time in the adjacent Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), where you can go hiking or biking through wooded cloughs and river valleys, or partake in other adventurous pursuits like fishing for trout and salmon in the rivers Ribble, Lune, and Hodder, or even try your hand at gliding. Visit Skipton to view its massive castle and play a round of golf; the town also has a wide selection of eateries. Alternatively, spend the day in Burnley to enjoy excellent shopping and stroll through beautiful parks. Chatburn is a great getaway option for anyone looking to get away to rural Lancashire and is still close to the larger cities of Skipton, Preston, and Blackburn.
