Only eight miles from Skipton, the entryway to the Yorkshire Dales, the old market town of Barnoldswick is located in the Pennine hills amid gorgeous, gently sloping landscape on the Lancashire/Yorkshire boundary. A bustling town in the centre of England, commonly referred to as Barlick, is proud of its manufacturing heritage, which spans from a significant textile sector to the production of modern aircraft engines at the Rolls Royce factory. The town is traversed by Pennine cycling and bridleways, and the magnificent summit section of the Leeds & Liverpool canal meanders past the town and its bustling port. Excellent walks along the old Roman road at Brogden Lane, the canal towpath, and the undulating heather moorland of Weets and Pendle Hill, which boast some of the best vistas in the nation, are also among the wonderful walking terrain.

The Shepherds Hut luxurious, the views amazing, our hosts welcoming, the peace only broken by the odd bleat of a lamb floating on the wind.

Beautiful and clean. Cosy and warm. Everything you could possibly need included. Welcome treats abd beverages. Fresh flowers. Alison and John such lovely hosts , not intrusive in anyway, but there for you if you need them . We had some lovely walks, and nights outside with the log burner and esse grill to roast your food on. Weber bbq also available. John has made a lovely cosy hut outside with fairy lights to sit and keep dry and warm in. The surrounding landscape is stunning Alison you have the knack of providing them little touches ... possibly the best place we have stayed..breath of fresh air. Thankyou to you both xx
