Moorland Picnic
Moorland Picnic
Not far from Temperance Hall is the Keasden Road which leads up to Bowland Knotts, a rocky outcrop which gives you a huge field of view across the Forrest of Bowland on one side and down towards Stocks Reservoir and Gisburn Forrest on the other. The single lane of winding roads make for an interesting drive and the livestock which roam around on the rough grassy areas give it that ‘million miles from anywhere’ feel.
We’ve picked a particularly windy day to enjoy a sunset picnic so after a half hour playing on the rocks and generally annoying the sheep, we retreat back to the car to enjoy some food and soak in the views. The car is being battered left and right by the wind so it’s an unusual meal, but given it’s in such a beautiful location, it’s one we’ll remember.
