White Hill

The walk up White Hill isn't long, but it feels proper rewarding once you're up there. From Greenfield, you can reach the summit in under an hour if you're reasonably fit - the moorland path climbs steadily without being savage about it. The views across the Pennines are decent, especially on a clear day when you can pick out the surrounding peaks and the valleys dropping away in every direction.

It's the sort of place where walkers will get the most out of it. You won't find facilities at the top - no café, no visitor centre, just moorland and air. Families with young legs might manage it, though toddlers would struggle with the uneven ground. History buffs won't find much here in terms of ruins or ancient sites, but there's something about these old moorland routes that speaks to those interested in how people have moved through Lancashire for centuries.

Families staying at Hedgerow Luxury Glamping, just half a mile away, could easily fit this into a morning's agenda. It's free to walk, naturally - no gates or admission charges. Allow a couple of hours return if you're not rushing, longer if you want to sit about at the top and soak it in. Late afternoon works well when the light's golden and there are fewer people around. The nearby holiday parks at Parkdean Resorts Todber Valley and Holgates Ribble Valley put you close enough for a half-day trip without it feeling like a chore to get there.
