For convenience the route is presented here in seven legs, but the time taken to complete the walk from end to end will depend on personal choice and ability. No stretch of the Ribble Way is overly demanding, and most reasonably fit people should not experience any difficulty in completing a section. However, if you are unused to walking any distance on a daily basis, it is sensible to do some training beforehand.

Accommodation is reasonably scattered along the route, enabling a range of possible itineraries. The accommodation listing in the Appendix is neither exhaustive nor does it imply recommendation, but is provided to assist in planning daily stages for a linear walk. Bear in mind that at weekends, some establishments may not take bookings for a single night, but staying the extra day opens an opportunity to explore the surrounding countryside. Most places can offer an evening meal, or are close to a pub or restaurant, and may be able to provide a lunch pack if you ask in advance. There are four convenient camp sites along the way, but recent years have seen the opening of a small number of bunk houses. Further information is available at local tourist information centres, details of which are also included in Appendix 2.
