One of our Great Inns, The Inn at Whitewell is located in Lancashire, close by to the bustling market town Clitheroe.
The Inn at Whitewell is situated just by the Forest of Bowland. Once a small manor house, the earliest parts of the Inn date back to the 1300s, when it was home to Walter Urswick, the keeper of the King’s Forest of Bowland.
The Inn is surrounded by a seven-mile stretch of river and residents are welcome to fish for salmon, seatrout, and grayling according to the season. The surrounding countryside can also be explored on foot, bike or horseback with hampers and picnic lunches available for guests planning a day’s outing.
Golf is a common passion of the area and guests of the Inn at Whitewell receive a discounted price at Clitheroe Golf Club. The golf club is a beautiful 18-hole parkland golf course, suitable for all levels. Not to mention, Hole 5 is widely considered the best Par 3 in the North West!
