There are many activities that you can do during your stay at our Lancashire farm B & B.

Golf

If you are a golfer we are about a mile away from the Goosnargh Golf. The 9 hole golf course has been developed to incorporate the natural landscape. You can play 9 or 18 holes on this pay and play golf course. They have produced a course that helps preserve the natural environment of the existing ponds and streams. If you have an eye for nature you may well see some of the following:

Water shrews
Greater Crested newts
Brown hares
Stoats
Roe deer
Oyster catchers
Moorhens
Pheasants
Grey heron
Krestrels

If you are looking for an excuse for missing a two foot putt, you can always say one of the above caught your eye!

Walking

There is an extensive range of walking opportunities for people staying at Isles Field Barn farm house bed and breakfast. You have one of two options. You can either stroll the lanes and paths around the vicinity of Isles Field Barn, or travel slightly further afield and choose to go to any of the following:

Forest of Bowland
The Fylde coast
The Vale of Lune
The Lake District
The Yorkshire Dales
The Lancaster canal
Beacon Fell

If you are looking for a suggestion – try one of my favorite walks around the charming hamlet of Abbeystead.

Cycling

The countryside around Isles Field Barn is great for cycling. Cycling National Route 6 is right on our door step (about 200 meters away). This stretch of Route 6 goes from Preston to Keswick. If you are feeling energetic Route 6 takes you from London to Keswick when it is completed. Regional Route 90 of the Lancashire Cycleway also links in to Route 6 at the end of Syke House Lane.

If you prefer off road cycling try Gisburn Forest. This area is run by the Forestry Commission and they are continuing to expand this popular centre for cyclists which currently has 16 kilometers of off road trails.
