Clitheroe Castle, Lancashire added to Historic Buildings in North West by D0c.Col on 11/12/2022

This ancient landmark overlooks the town of Clitheroe sitting prominently on top of a limestone mound and has dominated the town's skyline for over 800 years.

Castle and grounds are open daily and free to visit. You can see some of the stunning panoramic views of Ribble Valley’s beautiful landscape and the climb up to the top would be well worth it!

Clitheroe Castle Museum is managed by Lancashire County Council's museum service, on behalf of Ribble Valley Borough Council.

The award-winning Museum is located in the former Steward's House, a Grade II listed building that was built in the 18th century to house the Steward of Clitheroe Castle and includes the ubiquitous Visitors Gift Shop.

Visitors to the museum will be transported through 350 million years of local history. The journey starts with the formation of the landscape we see today and why the Ribble Valley is a haven for unique wildlife. Moving through the galleries the captivating story of the Castle and surrounding area continues to unfold. From local industry and heroes to folklore and legends the exhibits, touchscreen animations and sound points make it a shared experience for everyone to enjoy.

The castle is accessible with areas suitable for all, including those of limited mobility. More info, including a link to their access statement, is available from the following website:

I parked in Corporation Street (just off Thorn Street past the Railway level crossing) on the Castle Park side of the Town and TOAL was off the Castle Park pathway beneath the castle.

Kingswood Canal Junction, Warwick (By t0mroche)

Plenty to take in, lots of canal barges, bridges & countryside views. There is also a railway line running through if you’re lucky enough to spot a train like I was!

Walked from their car park through to the T junction and took off from the bridge at the end. Not many people around but do be mindful of potential inhabitants of the barges.

St. Mary The Virgin Church, Warwick (By t0mroche)

A lesser known gem of the Warwickshire country side. Quite an impressive building with barely anybody around (visited on a Tuesday lunch time).

Parked their car park to the rear & walked through the church yard & took off from the road. Not the easiest place to fly due to the height of surroundings & houses nearby but can be done with care

Charlestown Harbour (By akey_uk)

Beautiful old harbour with 2 beaches. Parts of Poldark were filmed here.

Easy parking at the top of the town, some great places to grab a drink and a bite, its also worth taking in the Shipwreck museum while you are here. Can get busy, but there is usually somewhere quiet to TOAL.
