This traditional mid-terrace cottage lies in the historic village of Hurst Green, in the heart of the Ribble Valley, and on the edge of the beautiful Forest of Bowland. Hurst Green is a pretty, popular village, surrounded by picture-perfect countryside. There’s much interest in the village itself, from the historic Almshouses opposite the cottage to the spectacular Stonyhurst College, just around the corner. The area is rich in wildlife, home to a variety of flora in the hedgerows, and small herds of wild deer living in the woods and you’ll hear a symphony of birdsong as you walk the local paths. J. R. R. Tolkien wrote much of the Lord of the Rings trilogy whilst staying at Stonyhurst College.
The area is also perfect as a base for cyclists with cycle trails through the woods up onto Longridge Fell and beyond. Gisburn Forest, famous for its amazing cycle routes, is only a short drive away from Hurst Green. Eating out is easy with The Bayley Arms and the Shireburn just a short walk away. There are many great takeaways nearby - you’ll find a list of our favourites in our cottage info pack. The Ribble Valley is a famous foodie area, home to the Michelin-starred Northcote, the long-standing fabulousness of The Inn at Whitewell, The Freemasons at Wiswell, and many other great establishments. Clitheroe’s Holmes Mill, a “unique celebration of Lancashire food, drink and entertainment”, boasts the longest bar in Britain, as well as an Everyman Theatre and Food Hall that is well worth a visit.
On a clear day you will be able to see the whole of the Ribble Valley and as far as the Yorkshire Dales to the North and Morecambe Bay to the West. Other nearby attractions include the Bowland Wild Boar Park, the breathtaking Whalley Arches, and the National Trust-owned property of Gawthorpe Hall, or head to the coast and spend a day at the seaside resort of Blackpool or Lytham St. Annes. Shire Nook is a perfectly charming base for touring the North West of England and the Ribble Valley.
