About

Mellor ward encompasses a primarily rural expanse in the western section of the Ribble Valley. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, scattered woodlands, and the steep-sided valley of the River Ribble itself. Settlements here are small and dispersed, with the village of Mellor being the focal point. The area maintains a quiet, agricultural character, with stone-built farms and country lanes defining much of the scenery.

The ward's topography is significant, with Mellor Hill and parts of Longridge Fell offering elevated views across the valley. A notable feature is the presence of several historic quarries on Longridge Fell, which once supplied stone for regional construction. The area is traversed by footpaths and minor roads, connecting its isolated farms and hamlets to the larger villages, with a strong sense of being within open, uncrowded countryside.
