- Dog Notes:
Holcombe Hill in Lancashire is a very popular place for dog walking, offering extensive open spaces for energetic dogs to explore. However, sheep graze freely and extensively on the moorland, so dogs MUST be kept on leads or under exceptionally close and reliable control at all times when livestock are present to prevent worrying. Be mindful of ground-nesting birds during the spring and summer months (keep dogs to paths). The hilltop can be windy and cold even in summer. Remember to bring water for your dog, as natural sources are scarce on this Lancashire hill.
