Gooseander route

Mother Gooseander and brood have a treacherous route down to the brook...following a stream in a steep sided gulley. I wonder how many survive?

Gooseander latest news...

Just spotted Mother Gooseander setting off with her brood down to Sabden Brook. Eleven days earlier than in 2011.
The last gooseanderling to join MG and family is pictured preparing to jump off the farmhouse roof.
Click on the tiny blob between the two chimneys.
The nest is in the unused chimney on the left of the photo.

Where are our swallows? They're very late arriving this year...

We are on the hillside that looks across Sabden Valley, to Pendle Hill, famous for the Lancashire Witches.

We are very rural but close to the motorway, rail and airport network, so handy for holiday or business visitors.

You can find out more about Cobden Farm Bed and Breakfast by going to our website at: www.cobdenfarm.co.uk

Breakfast is served in the conservatory overlooking our wildlife pond and across Sabden Valley to the lower end of Pendle Hill.

Both en-suite rooms look out onto fields where our sheep graze. They have been known to graze in our garden. But that's another story.

Babies and children are most welcome - we have available a travel cot, a fold-up bed, highchair, baby walker as well as toys to entertain them.

And there are freshly made scones with butter and jam waiting for you in your room when you arrive.

Well-behaved dogs are also welcome. And we have 'guest' packs for them.
