Clitheroe Hookups: Clitheroe Women Want to Meet

Clitheroe hookups below the castle

A Norman keep, one of the smallest in Great Britain, is the building Clitheroe is known for, and the town around it is modest too: roughly 16,000 people in the built-up area. It's still the most populous place in the Ribble Valley, it sits close to the Forest of Bowland, and visitors often use it as a base. The Sunday Times has put both the town and the wider valley on its best places to live lists, and the pair have also been listed among the healthiest and happiest places to live in the UK.

That gives a hookup here two sides: a small town, where a little discretion is wise, and visitors heading for Bowland, who won't still be here next week. Either way, sex in Clitheroe starts with a quiet word on the site rather than a loud one in the pub.

For a daylight first meeting, the castle keep is the town's most notable building and an easy landmark to name. Sport has deep roots here as well: cricket has been played in Clitheroe since the 1800s, the cricket club dates from 1862 and the golf club from 1891, so there's no shortage of local talking points for a first drink.

Two weekends worth circling

The Ribble Valley Jazz and Blues Fest came back in 2010 after more than 40 years away and is usually held over the early May bank holiday weekend, and the Clitheroe Food Festival in early August brings in 80 or more Lancashire food and drink producers. Either gives you a crowd to blend into and something to talk about. On an ordinary day the Swan Courtyard shopping centre makes an easy public meeting point, and Clitheroe FC play at the Shawbridge Stadium if you'd rather start at the football.
