Dunsop Bridge – Whitendale – Brennand Valley – Ouster Rake – Whin Fell – Trough of Bowland – Dunsop Bridge<\/strong><\/p>\n

This autumn, we\u2019re heading into the wild heart of the Forest of Bowland, where hen harriers and peregrine falcons soar over the fells as the first autumn colours gild the wooded valleys.<\/p>\n

Starting in the pretty hamlet of Dunsop Bridge, we\u2019ll follow the River Dunsop into the Bowland fells before forking off into the remote valley of Whitendale, from where we\u2019ll climb up onto the plateau briefly before descending into the Brennand Valley.<\/p>\n

From here, it\u2019s a steep ascent via the infamous Ouster Rake up onto Whin Fell \u2013 from where the views stretch out across Morecambe Bay to the Isle of Man \u2013 followed by a steady descent into the Trough of Bowland and back to our starting point.<\/p>\n","route_difficulty":"Hard","route_length":"16.5","route_place":{"ID":950,"post_author":"7","post_date":"2019-01-16 10:46:11","post_date_gmt":"2019-01-16 10:46:11","post_content":"","post_title":"No Place Needed","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"no-place-needed","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-03 14:38:58","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-03 14:38:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.freshwalks.co.uk\/?post_type=place&p=950","menu_order":8,"post_type":"place","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"route_lunch":"Self-support (food and drinks)","route_gallery":[{"ID":2731,"id":2731,"title":"Wild Bowland and Dunsop Bridge","filename":"Wild-Bowland-and-Dunsop-Bridge.jpg","filesize":303985,"url":"https:\/\/www.freshwalks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wild-Bowland-and-Dunsop-Bridge.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.freshwalks.co.uk\/route\/wild-bowland-dunsop-bridge\/attachment\/wild-bowland-and-dunsop-bridge\/","alt":"","author":"6","description":"","caption":"","name":"wild-bowland-and-dunsop-bridge","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2730,"date":"2022-08-01 16:04:30","modified":"2022-08-01 16:04:35","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.freshwalks.co.uk\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1434,"height":714,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.freshwalks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wild-Bowland-and-Dunsop-Bridge-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.freshwalks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wild-Bowland-and-Dunsop-Bridge-300x149.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":149,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.freshwalks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wild-Bowland-and-Dunsop-Bridge-768x382.jpg","medium_large-width":640,"medium_large-height":318,"large":"https:\/\/www.freshwalks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wild-Bowland-and-Dunsop-Bridge-1024x510.jpg","large-width":640,"large-height":319,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.freshwalks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wild-Bowland-and-Dunsop-Bridge.jpg","1536x1536-width":1434,"1536x1536-height":714,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.freshwalks.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Wild-Bowland-and-Dunsop-Bridge.jpg","2048x2048-width":1434,"2048x2048-height":714}}],"hide_route":false},"yoast_head":"\nWild Bowland & Dunsop Bridge -
