Leap in the Park: Radholme Circular

The boundary of the deer park at Radholme is just under 10km in perimeter, and we believe that much of the boundary of this was provided by the River Hodder, running between Burholme and Lillyholme. The rest of the boundary was a pale - the bank and ditch which shows up clearly in some places. The pale is likely to have been a wall on the high ground across Burholme Moor, and a fence on the lower lying land between Park Gate and Ing Wood.

The Inn at Whitewell - In the 1300s the Inn at Whitewell was just a small manor house, lived in by the keepers of the Royal Forest. The Royal connection still remains as the Inn forms part of the Duchy of Lancaster Estate. It was not until comparatively recently, during the 1700s that the building was transformed into a resting place where travellers en route to or from Lancaster could safely stay before continuning their perilous journey. Today the Inn at Whitewell is an old fashined rural Inn, welcoming to all, providing 23 bedrooms and serving fantastic local ingredients, the perfect spot to take a break during your walk.
