042: Newton-in-Bowland, Dunsop Bridge and Slaidburn (Forest of Bowland 2015)

RIBBLE VALLEY AND FOREST OF BOWLAND TOUR FEATURING NEWTON-IN-BOWLAND, DUNSOP BRIDGE AND SLAIDBURN

"Bleakness of Bowland”
Filmed 28th May 2015
Post-production completed 8th August 2015

The Forest of Bowland was an area I once passed through very briefly. I was completely blown away by its beauty, so some ten years later I decide to return whilst staying in Lancashire to visit more of this spectacular and bleak landscape.

Filmed in the Ribble Valley and Forest of Bowland in the county of Lancashire. Locations include Newton-in-Bowland, Dunsop Bridge and Slaidburn.

Written, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.

Any other names credited in this film, i.e. Bob Morgan and Martin Roy, are pseudonyms, which I used at the time of making this film. However, I no longer use these pseudonyms as I want viewers to be clear that my films are completely my own work.

"The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard.

Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.

If you are new to my YouTube channel, I strongly recommend reading the description on the home page, which will provide a clearer understanding of what to expect in my films:    / solitaryrambler
