The best area to stay in Cottam and the surrounding region is the Ribble Valley, particularly around the towns of Clitheroe and Longridge.


The Ribble Valley is a picturesque area known for its rolling hills, quaint villages, and excellent food scene. Clitheroe, a market town, is often considered the heart of the valley. It's dominated by Clitheroe Castle and its grounds, offering lovely views. The town centre has independent shops, cafes, and pubs, particularly along Castle Street and Market Place. This area is ideal for couples seeking a tranquil getaway with opportunities for scenic walks and fine dining.


For families, staying closer to Longridge might be more suitable. Longridge is a larger town with more amenities and easy access to outdoor activities. It's a good base for exploring the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where families can enjoy walks, cycling, and picnics. There are also several farms and visitor attractions nearby that cater to children.


Both Clitheroe and Longridge offer a relaxed base for exploring the wider Lancashire countryside.

The best time to visit Cottam is during the warmer, drier months of late spring, summer, and early autumn, specifically from May to September.


During these months, you'll experience the most pleasant weather, with longer daylight hours and generally less rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the local countryside and enjoying outdoor activities. Families might find the summer holidays, particularly July and August, superb for a visit, as the weather is typically at its best for exploring attractions like the nearby Beacon Fell Country Park or enjoying walks along the Lancaster Canal.


Couples looking for a peaceful getaway might prefer the shoulder months of May, June, or September. The weather is still very agreeable, but there are fewer crowds, allowing for a more relaxed experience when visiting local villages or enjoying a quiet meal at a country pub.
