Heather Hill

The walk up Heather Hill rewards you with proper views across the Lancashire moorlands - the sort of landscape that makes you understand why people choose to camp and glamping here rather than heading south. It's not a major peak by any means, but that's rather the point. You're looking at a straightforward ramble from near Glamping that takes maybe an hour or so depending on your fitness and how many times you stop to look back at what you've climbed.

The heather itself is the real draw, particularly if you time it right in late summer when it's in bloom. The purple sprawl across the hillside gives the whole walk a sense of purpose, and on a clear day you can see for miles - proper moorland country. It's the sort of place walkers actually enjoy without queuing, which makes it excellent value.

Families with older kids will get on well here. Younger ones might find the moorland a bit monotonous, and there's not much to do once you've reached the top except admire the view and head back down. The walk itself is free, naturally, and you can approach from various angles depending on where you're staying.

If you're based at any of the nearby campsites - Trawden Forest Glamping is closest at under three miles - this pairs nicely with a morning or evening walk. It's not dramatic, but it's the sort of unassuming Lancashire hill walk that builds character into a park holiday.
