A Very Special Heritage Clitheroe is also home to an early medieval castle which has been lovingly preserved and developed over time into a fabulous hub of history. It is one of the oldest buildings in Lancashire, now a Grade 1 listed building, and noted as one of the smallest Norman keeps in Britain. Respectfully maintained over the years and developed over time, visitors can explore the castle keep for free and enjoy spectacular views across the valley. There is also an interactive museum for which there is a small entry fee. Not to be forgotten are the splendid 16-acre castle grounds, which host a bandstand, playground and Lancashire’s one and only labyrinth. As well as ascending to the castle keep and admiring the breathtaking views, there is the option to discover even more of Clitheroe’s heritage by taking part in the fascinating Town Trail. The mile-long walk suitable for all the family takes you on a journey across time and place, from the 19th century market place, to rows of Victorian terraces, to pubs dating back to the 16th century. Copies of the trail can be obtained at the Visitor Information Centre at the Platform Gallery. If you fancy using Clitheroe as a starting point to explore further afield, then the Ribble Valley Sculpture Trail is the adventure for you. Launched in 1993, this trail incorporates over 20 different works of art, taking you through woodlands, grasslands, Brungerley Park and Cross Hill Quarry. Not only will you enjoy views of the Bowland hills, but you may also spot some fascinating local wildlife—kingfishers, and even otters! If you want to find out more about the thriving market town of Clitheroe and what there is to see and do here, simply head to the Platform Gallery and Tourist Information Centre, near the bus and train interchange, where you should find all the information you’re looking for.
