About

Barrowford & Pendleside ward encompasses a mix of residential and rural landscapes on the western edge of Pendle. The area includes the village of Barrowford, situated along the banks of Pendle Water, and extends into the surrounding uplands of Pendle Hill. The ward's geography is defined by this transition from the valley settlement to the open moorland above, with agriculture playing a significant role in the outlying areas.

The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs through Barrowford, featuring a notable flight of locks at Barrowford Locks. This historic infrastructure contrasts with the natural backdrop of the hill, which dominates the skyline. The local economy has historical roots in textiles, though the landscape itself, with its network of footpaths leading onto the moor, is a central feature for the community.
