The tours will start out from the Swan and Royal Hotel in the centre of Clitheroe, before heading on to the De Lacy Arms in Whalley, The Punch Bowl in Hurst Green, The Sun Inn in Chipping and The Hark to Bounty in Slaidburn, before heading back over the fell to Waddington and the Lower Buck Inn.

Simon said: “We aim to offer participants of the tours the chance to enjoy each stop off point, taking in some of the stories and legends about each of the historic inns, whilst also giving them the opportunity to enjoy the splendour and beauty of the Ribble Valley. The tour is ideal for people outside of the immediate area as they can arrive by train and leave the car behind for the day.”
