Standing on the peaks of the higher fells, reaching onto the limestone crags, grazing in the lower valleys, hiding in the maze of underground caves and passages, Ribblehead provides a great natural setting for Gearstones Lodge… and adventure!
The converted shooting lodge and barns have a fascinating history, whereby the original Gearstones Inn evolved into a shooting lodge for the local landlord.
In 1972 the premises were purchased by public subscription, monies were raised by the people of Mirfield, and Gearstones Lodge Charity was formed.
