Description
In search of the ruins of Whalley Abbey. When Henry VII ordered the dissolution of the Monasteries and kicked out the Cistercian Brothers, he could hardly have imagined cyclists visiting the cafe there. The ride goes through Cliviger Gorge and returns using a short stretch of Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath and the trackbed of the former Accrington-Haslingden railway to pass Holland's pie factory.
