Broadstone Hill

There's a decent hike up Broadstone Hill from Greenfield that rewards you with proper views across the moorland. It's not a massive peak - nothing that'll leave you gasping for hours - but it's the kind of walk that feels worthwhile rather than a slog.

The climb itself takes you through open country with a decent path most of the way up. On a clear day you can see across the Pennines, which is exactly what you come to Lancashire for. The summit isn't a dramatic pinnacle but a broad, windswept spot where you can catch your breath and actually enjoy the landscape rather than fighting for it.

Walkers will get the most out of this one. It's the sort of place that appeals to people who want exercise without technical difficulty - families with older kids might manage it fine on a good weather day. Don't expect a café or facilities at the top; bring water and come prepared for moorland conditions.

If you're staying at Dovestone Holiday Park nearby, this makes a logical half-day excursion. Start early before the weather turns, which it can do quickly up here. Allow a couple of hours there and back depending on your pace. It's not the highest or most dramatic peak in the area, but it does the job well enough. You'll find the path, you'll get the views, and you won't regret the time spent.
