The Trough of Bowland (German: Trog von Bowland) is a pass in the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire , England . Until 1974, the border between Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire ran over the pass.
The pass with a height of 295 m is on the connecting road from Lancaster to Clitheroe .
Although only the top of the pass, which is bordered by the Winfold Fell in the west and the Blaze Moss in the east , can be called the Trough of Bowland, the name is often given wider for tourist purposes. A stretch of road between Dunsop Bridge and Abbeystead is associated with the Trough of Bowland.
