  • A 10-minute drive from Whalley Abbey; 20 minutes to Clitheroe Castle
  • Access to walking trails; pub nearby; barbecues permitted
Put your feet up at Hacking Hall Farm Camping, a dog-friendly site on a working farm in Ribble Valley, alongside the confluence of the river Calder and the river Ribble. Here, you’ll be in a countryside chunk of land with views of Longridge Fell, surrounded by woodlands for walking (including family-friendly trails for all ages), with Whalley Abbey 10 minutes’ drive away and Clitheroe Castle 20 minutes away. The pitches are part of a field in front of Hacking Hall, with access to toilets and water. Pets are permitted here (on leads), and under 18s are also allowed, as long as they’re accompanied by an adult. You’ll be able to access lots of public footpaths in the area, along with places to eat: a couple of restaurant are about five minutes' drive/half an hour's walk away. The site is on the outskirts of Whalley in Lancashire, so the town centre is under 10 minutes’ drive away, where there’s a nice chain of shops, restaurants, pubs and supermarkets. If you’re still hungry or don’t want to get up just yet, local places also deliver, so you can take a pizza down to the river if you wish. Barbecues and campfires are also permitted, so this may be another way to wind down in the evening nicely. Please note that this is an active working farm, with some agricultural activity beginning as early as 6am. Fishing is only permitted if you are part of the local angling association. Other activities like swimming and paddleboarding are not allowed along this stretch of the river.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: 5th visit to this site and unfortunately not as fantastic as previous visits. Site and area is still gorgeous, owners are lovely and facilities are great. We love the wildlife nearby and the river just metres away.

Disliked: Waited til about 9pm and never got a fire pit or any wood- was a chilly night after a drizzle all day. Another group camped so close our Guide lines were nearly crossed.. for such a big field with so much space it felt very odd for strangers to camp almost on top of us. Unsure we will visit this site again in future.
