More about this scene

The cottages in this idyllic scene by the River Ribble were at one time connected with a calico mill; they were later purchased and renovated by the Spread Eagle Hotel. Now let out as 'honeymoon cottages' (fully booked for Valentine's Day 2003), they have a new lease of life. The mature trees in the background were felled to provide room for 14 very expensive dwellings, but dredging of the river became necessary due to flooding.
