Parking

Parking Information
Two access points. CLOUGH BANK FARM is the main access - a parking fee is charged by the farmer and a WAA sticker must be displayed; the walk down to the river is a steep hill (and a steep climb back). No vehicles are allowed past Clough Bank Farm. THROUGH HOUSE FARM, upstream, offers FREE parking and a gentler though longer walk in. Much of the bank forms part of the Ribble Way path. Members have reported resenting paying the farmer on top of subscriptions, so budget for the Clough Bank fee or use Through House.
