(Sunday 13th,12.00-18.00 and Monday 14th 8.30-12.30; leaving by coach from the Royal Kings Arms)
Field trip 1 (Sunday): The Forest of Bowland
A trip to the heart of the Forest of Bowland, via the Cross of Greet, including a stop at the village of Slaidburn to look at the Heritage Centre, church and school. After lunch the coaches will move on to visit Sawley Abbey, Stoneyhurst College and the villages of Grindelton, and Waddington. A final stop at Jeffrey Hill will afford views of the Bowland landscape and the finely preserved course of a Roman road. The principal themes for the visit will be the key features of the Bowland area and the problems which arise from their identification, promotion and management.
Field trip 2 (Monday): The Lune Valley
The second field trip will take in the Lune Valley stopping, firstly, at a converted 19th century textile mill in the village of Caton. A break at the village of Halton will provide a brief opportunity to examine the church, the Sigurd Cross, an 11th century motte and the local vernacular architecture. Other fortifications visited will include the more extensive earthwork sites at Castle Stede and castles at Hornby and Thurland, with their associated parkland landscapes.
Appropriate clothing is recommended, specifically raincoats/umbrellas, May in the north of England is notoriously unpredictable
