A Rainy Ride Through Time: Slaidburn to Bentham

On a damp day, our motorcycle roared to life as we embarked on the ancient road from Slaidburn to Bentham. But here’s the twist—we veered left before reaching Bentham itself.

This road is a time traveler, whisking us back to medieval days. And at its pinnacle, perched 427 meters high, stands the enigmatic Cross of Greet. But wait, it’s not your typical cross—it’s a weathered stone with a square hole. Legends abound: some claim a cross once stood within that gap, while others believe it warded off diseases as travelers crossed into new territories.

Historically the stone marked the boundary between Yorkshire’s West Riding and Lancashire. In 1974, Slaidburn officially joined the Lancashire fold.

Rain or shine, this ride is an absolute gem. And when the sun graces the landscape, the scenery unfolds like a vivid painting. So saddle up, fellow adventurer, and let the wind carry you through time and beauty!
