The
Ribble Way |
 |
The
Ribble Way is a 70 mile-long footpath following the River
Ribble and its valley from the sea to its source. The
footpath spans the counties of Lancashire and North Yorkshire
and is divided into 7 sections each approximately 10 miles
long. Four sections lie within Lancashire following the
rivers middle and lower reaches.
The
Ribble Way begins at Longton on the salt marshes of the
estuary and passes through the flat environment to the west
of Preston and into the lush fertile plains between Preston
and Clitheroe. The footpath then encounters the higher ground
towards the county border and continues to the source of
the River Ribble on the Yorkshire fells.
The
official start of the walk is The Dolphin Inn, Longton,
Preston and the end is Gavel Gap high on the North Yorkshire
Moors.
