Local Lancashire Walks you are bound to fall in love with
March 20th 2025
The Lancashire Lad’s website (www.lancashirelad.com) is brimming with local walks along with plenty of pictures, instructions and top tips. It’s a wealth of local knowledge just waiting to be tapped into. Below is a walk that we have been loving recently.
Nicky Nook – 3 Mile Walk
Whilst this circular fell walk is only 3 miles, there is a short, steady climb at the start to the top of the fell, with a fantastic panoramic view looking out towards the coast, parts of the Lakes, within touching distance of the Forest of Bowland.
It’s a beautiful walk in the local area. Great for families as the steady incline creates a challenge. Gorgeous views at the top and, most importantly, a cafe! Full details for the walk can be found on www.lancashirelad.com
Celebrate “The First Modern Lesbian” this April!

Born in 1791, Anne Lister became one of the most interesting women of the nineteenth century. She is known as ‘the first modern lesbian’. A successful woman entrepreneur and landowner, she kept an extensive diary, partly in code, running to four million words. The diary reveals her many affairs with other women throughout her life.
From the 29th to the 6th of April, Halifax and the surrounding area are celebrating her 234th birthday with a week-long festival which will bring her story to life. These are some of the events we are looking forward to:
