Clitheroe South

About

Clitheroe South covers the southern part of Clitheroe town centre and adjacent residential streets. The area is built around Clitheroe Castle, which sits on a limestone outcrop and retains a 12th‑century keep that marks the town skyline. Streets such as King Street and Wellgate contain independent shops, cafés and local services clustered close to the castle grounds. Housing in the ward ranges from terraced rows and Victorian terraces to post‑war estates, with narrow lanes and stone boundary walls common across the neighbourhood.

Community facilities include a market held in the town centre, a public library, primary schools and a leisure centre within short walking distance of the high street. Clitheroe railway station is the northern terminus of the Ribble Valley line, providing direct rail links to Blackburn and beyond. Small business units and light industrial yards sit at the edge of the ward, and municipal functions for Ribble Valley are based in the town, keeping local administration, retail and transport tightly connected to everyday life in Clitheroe South.
