Langden Brook riverside walk is a calm and scenic walk in the heart of the Forest of Bowland, perfect if you’re looking for an easy walk with big open views and quietness. Starting from the free Langden Brook Car Park (Unnamed Road, 3BJ, Clitheroe), the path follows the river through a wide valley dotted with grazing sheep and surrounded by rolling hills. The walk to the aircrew memorial and back forms a gentle loop of around three miles, taking roughly 60–90 minutes at an unhurried pace, with very little elevation and just one main path to follow, so it’s easy to navigate even though signage is minimal. The memorial itself is a quiet and moving spot, marking the site of wartime aircraft crashes in the area, and it’s a reminder of how remote and unforgiving this landscape once was. Water plays a big role here too, with Langden Brook running alongside the path for much of the walk, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead in certain areas to protect wildlife and nesting birds, and after rain the path can become muddy in places, so good footwear is a must. If you’re feeling energetic, you can simply keep walking beyond the memorial for a longer out-and-back stroll, making this a flexible and relaxing walk that’s easy to adapt to your day.
