BOWLAND-FOREST, an ancient forest on the mutual border of Lancashire and W. R. Yorkshire. It included the parishes of Mitton and Slaidburn, and part of the parish of Whalley; and belonged to the honour of Clitheroe. It contained wild deer so late as 1812; but is now enclosed and cultivated. The family of Parker, of Brownsholme Hall, have long held the office of hereditary forester.
