About

Great Harwood is a town in the borough of Hyndburn, Lancashire, in north-west England. It sits a few miles north of Accrington and east of the Ribble Valley, forming part of a chain of towns between Blackburn and Clitheroe. The town centre has a mix of local shops, community facilities and housing, and public green spaces on the town's edge give views across farmland toward the surrounding Pennine foothills. Local services include primary and secondary schools, a community library and sports clubs that serve the wider township.

Industrial traces remain: former cotton mills and brick-built mill terraces punctuate the street pattern, and the line of the old Great Harwood Loop railway can still be traced in sections as an embankment and cycle route. Regular bus links connect Great Harwood to Accrington and Blackburn, while road routes provide access into the Ribble Valley for countryside walks. Community events and grassroots sport are a regular feature of town life, and conservation efforts have focused on maintaining historic buildings and riverside corridors.
