The Trough of Bowland is a valley and high pass in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Lancashire, England. The pass, reaching 968 ft (295 m) above sea level at the head of the valley, links to Wyresdale, dividing the upland core of Bowland into two main blocks. Though steep and narrow, the road is the most direct connection between Lancaster and Dunsop Bridge, and hence Clitheroe. It was the route taken by the "Pendle witches" to their trial at Lancaster Castle in 1612.The Grey Stone of Trough, at the head of the pass, marks the line of the historic county boundary between Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire. Historically, the Trough marked the westernmost boundary of the ancient Lordship of Bowland.

  • Der Trough of Bowland (deutsch: Trog von Bowland) ist ein Pass im Forest of Bowland in Lancashire, England. Bis 1974 verlief die Grenze zwischen Lancashire und der West Riding of Yorkshire über die Passhöhe. Der Pass mit einer Höhe von 295 m liegt an der Verbindungsstraße von Lancaster nach Clitheroe.Zwar lässt sich nur die Passhöhe, die im Westen vom und im Osten vom begrenzt wird, als Trough of Bowland bezeichnen, doch wird zu touristischen Zwecken die Bezeichnung gern weiter gefasst. So wird ein Straßenabschnitt zwischen Dunsop Bridge und Abbeystead mit dem Trough of Bowland in Verbindung gebracht. (de)
