A significant part of Ribble Valley countryside is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From the River Ribble to the Bowland Fells, the area is the perfect destination for immersing oneself in stunning scenery and engaging in adventurous outdoor activities.

Also known as the food capital of the North, Ribble Valley offers an array of experiences, from Michelin-star dining to family-friendly eateries; there is something to suit every taste. Not to be overlooked are the countless wine bars and pubs which distinguish themselves by their unequivocal elegance and charm.

Unique sites such as the 14th century Whalley Abbey, the Ribchester Roman Museum and the medieval Clitheroe Castle form part of the locality’s backdrop. What’s more, the breathtaking Stonyhurst College served as a source of inspiration for the prolific author JRR Tolkien.

Ribble Valley also plays host to annual cultural, music, art and food events including the ever-growing Clitheroe Food Festival.  Considering all that Ribble Valley has to offer, it’s no wonder that it is recognised nationally as one of the best places to live in the UK.
