Based on the Bentham Heritage Trail, published by the local Market Towns Initiative, this walk takes in some of the lovely scenery along the valley of the River Wenning and affords wonderful views of the Forest of Bowland fells to the south and the hills of the Yorkshire Dales to the north. Interpretation boards along the route provide information on everything from farming and wildlife to industrial heritage. A section through the town of High Bentham allows walkers to make the most of the facilities available in this rural town.
