- Before the Lake district and Yorkshire Dales is an often overlooked gem, the Trough of Bowland in Lancashire.
Feel on top of the world with space to breath. The journey starts on the edge of North Yorkshire, High Bentham (there is also a Low Bentham nearby), to Slaidburn along Lythe Road is a beautiful drive. There are few peoople who live up here, it's mainly sheep, pheasant and the occasional rare sighting of deer.
Drive with care as the roads are often twisty, single track with limited passing places and undulations and sheep are free to roam on large stretches of this route - and why shouldn't they be, they live here. And remember those passing places as you pass them looking out for oncoming traffic. If you meet an on coming car or van you might need them.
If you want to escape the hurly-burly of city life or work pressures this is a great place to come during the late spring to early autumn months. The views can be spectacular.
It's not a route I'd try in winter or in the dark.
I'm so lucky to live in this beautiful area...
I discovered these place yesterday when driving from Austwick in North Yorkshire. I came to Austwick from Preston along A59 and then decided to drive back from Austwick via Lancaster instead. Thanks for filming it, I couldn't film it. I want to come back and explore some villages.
Did this route yesterday from Blackpool to White scar caves,Instead of the M6 motorway,went over Longridge fell,through whitewell and Dunsop bridge.lovely drive.
It's a lovely drive/motorcycle ride. Did it today in my i10. The spring colours were magnificent.
One of my favourite places in the world. Been a few times myself over recent years. So quiet. Lovely. Great drive video 👍🏻
Thanks for this I watched as I’m doing this route to Dunsop bridge tomorrow and back on the bike so wanted to familiarise myself with the surroundings
Glad it helped, thanks for the feedback
