Chipping
Chipping is a picturesque village in the heart of the beautiful Ribble Valley, on the edge of the Trough of Bowland, in Lancashire. This is an area which is outstanding for cycling and walking. Just 9 miles from Clitheroe and 12 miles from Preston, Chipping is the ideal base from which to explore some of the most stunning parts of England and is just over an hour's drive from the Lake District. This cottage and the surrounding area are a beautiful setting for your holiday in Lancashire!
A well kept secret to many, this picturesque Lancashire village has won a number of best kept village competitions over the years.
The village is known to be at least 1,000 years old and is named in the Domesday book as 'Chippenden' ~ the name coming from the medieval 'Chepyn' meaning market place.
Chipping really thrived during the Industrial Revolution when
there were seven mills located along Chipping Brook. Today only one survives -
the famous chair making factory of H.J.Berry - where furniture has been designed
and made since the 1890’s.
The Trough Of Bowland is both a delight and a pleasure with its rolling
pastures, working farmland and dense forestry. The area is classed as “an area
of outstanding natural beauty” and it certainly lives up to expectation. The
Forest of Bowland occupies most of the north east of Lancashire. It consists of
barren gritstone fells, deep valleys and peat moorland. It's an attractive
alternative to the overcrowded Lake District, and today this grouse moorland is
also used for walking and cycling.
The name 'forest' is used in its traditional sense of 'a royal hunting ground', and much of the land still belongs to the Crown. In the past wild boar, deer, wolves, wild cats and game roamed the forest. The origins of the name Bowland most likely came from the long-standing connection of the region with archery - the 'land of the bow'.
Just to the North of the village the access areas of Clougha, Fair Snape, Wolf Fell and Saddle Fell have been opened up to the public by access agreements negotiated between Lancashire County Council and the owners. This means that over 3,260 acres of open country is now open to walkers.
Ribble Valley Food Trail
Ribble Valley conjures up images of quaint villages and stunning countryside, but it is also home to some of Lancashire’s best food and drink.
An array of wonderful foods - meat from traditional Lancashire breeds, organic milk and cheese, yogurt and ice-cream, handmade chocolate, pies and pastries, and a feast of fruit and vegetables packed with natural flavour - can be found at shops and restaurants along the borough’s leafy lanes and in its historic towns and villages.
The Ribble Valley Food Trail, which is the brainchild of Ribble Valley Borough Council, aims to put the spotlight on the area’s food producers as part of the area’s ongoing recovery from the 2001 foot and mouth epidemic.
The trail is supported by Taste Lancashire, the campaign of events and activities being co-ordinated by the Lancashire and Blackpool Tourist Board aimed at promoting Lancashire produce.
An independent panel comprising food and tourism experts and
writers from throughout Ribble Valley compiled the trail, which features 36
restaurants, inns, shops and delicatessens with an unswerving commitment to
local produce, high quality foodstuffs and excellent customer service.
