Another beautiful place you can drive to within an hour is the Trough of Bowland. A rugged, wild place which runs basically towards Lancaster from the Ribble Valley.

Most of the land is owned by the Queen and the Duchy of Lancaster, but there are still places to stop and enjoy the scenery, there's also usually a mobile shop/ caravan along the way selling tea.

There are also some fantastic walks up on Ossy Moors, which if you choose the right day affords views as far away as Blackpool to the west, and the southern reaches of Cumbria to the north-west.
