Join us for car-free guided walks this spring

The Service 11 Bus connects villages across the Ribble Valley, Forest of Bowland and Yorkshire Dales, providing a welcome boost to public transport to the rural communities on both sides of the Lancashire-Yorkshire Border.

Service 11 buses operate Monday to Saturday, running every two hours between Clitheroe Interchange and Horton in Ribblesdale – connecting with rail services at either end of the route.

As well as providing vital links to villages along the route, the new service delivers a boost for sustainable tourism, opening up car-free access to some of the most popular visitor attractions and walking routes in Lancashire and Yorkshire.

In March, the Forest of Bowland National Landscape is hosting two guided walks to showcase the car-free walking opportunities offered by the Service 11 route.

Start and finish times will line up with the Number 11 bus service from Clitheroe.
