About the River Loud

The River Loud rises on Parlick, in the Forest of Bowland, and runs through the parish of Chipping. It passes Hesketh Lane, collects Chipping Brook and joins the River Hodder near Doeford Bridge. It is a tributary of the Hodder, and in the distant past its lower valley carried the Hodder westward.

05Do I need a licence to fish the River Loud?
