The Ribble Valley routinely features in published lists of the best places in which to live in the UK. Clitheroe’s position as the principal market town of the Ribble Valley places it in a privileged position – and one which is richly deserved.
The jewels in its crown are:
- Its blessed location, adjoining some of the UK’s most beautiful natural landscapes, including the Forest of Bowland (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – AONB), the Hodder Valley, Pendle Hill and its surrounding rivers and fells
- Its excellent road and rail transport links and easy access to other fabulously beautiful areas, including The Lake District, The Yorkshire Dales and coastal areas to the west
- Its beautiful surrounding villages, such as Downham, Dunsop Bridge, Waddington, Whalley and Sawley – all oozing with history, tradition and picture postcard loveliness
A visit to Clitheroe not only offers you all the charms that its town centre has to offer but also unlocks a huge range of opportunities to explore further afield.
One visit and you’ll fall in love with Clitheroe.
