	Images of the Forest of Bowland, Pendle Hill and the Ribble Valley
		The Forest of Bowland is an area in the north west of England, of heather moorland, blanket bog and exposed millstone grit outcrops.
		The Forest of Bowland is divided by the valley of the River Ribble, separating Pendle Hill from the main Bowland fells.
		The pleasure of Bowland and the Ribble Valley is the diversity of the landscape, the cloughs with fast flowing streams, the rocky outcrops emerging from the bog, peat and heather, the views, the solitude and the ubiquitous 350,000 sheep that inhabit the place.

		The Forest of Bowland, also known as the Bowland Fells, is an area of barren gritstone fells, deep valleys and peat moorland in north-east Lancashire, England (though much of the area is historically part of Yorkshire).
		The name 'forest' is used in its traditional sense of 'a royal hunting ground', and much of the land still belongs to the British Crown as part of the Duchy of Lancaster.
		Bowland remains as the northwestern remainder of the ancient wilderness that once stretched over a huge part of England, encompassing the Forest of Bowland, Nottingham Forest, the New Forest (Hampshire) and Savernake Forest (Wiltshire).
