Fishing
The Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers wonderful opportunities for quiet enjoyment including fishing. The following leaflet Fishing in Bowland (PDF, 1.82mb) provides details of places to fish in and around the Forest of Bowland. Several of the fishing sites also offer a variety of accommodation, from luxury hotel, through to self-catering units and camping and caravan sites. For details of other places to stay in the Forest of Bowland visit where to stay in Bowland.
Access for All
Some of the fishing venues can offer access for all in the form of a Tramper - an all-terrain electric wheelchair facility for access to bank side angling. This might be useful for those who may have difficulty negotiating uneven footpaths. Please ask about this when making enquiries, for further details about trampers visit access for all trails.
