The Forest of Bowland is a designated Area of Natural Beauty (AONB) made up of gritstone fells, deep valleys, and peat moorland in North Lancashire.

At 561m, Ward's Stone is the Bowland Fells, highest point, and the goal of this walk, which also takes in the hamlet of Tarnbrook, before ascending via the shooting tracks to Tarnbrook Fell, onto Mallowbrook Fell with its spectacular views over to Whernside in the Yorkshire Dales. 

From there we'll bash through heather and hop bogs until we reach the trig point, before descending past the Luncheon Hut and grouse buts over Margery's Hill to Grizedale Bridge and back to Abbeystead.

Please note: No Dogs (except guide, hearing or assistance dogs) are allowed on this walk as it passes over restricted land with an order in place to protect ground nesting birds.
