Nelson East is a residential district situated on the eastern slopes above the town centre. The area is characterised by terraced housing built from the local sandstone, with streets following the contours of the hillside. It offers panoramic views across the wider Pendle Valley, with the prominent landmark of Pendle Hill often visible on the horizon.

The area maintains a practical connection to Nelson's town centre for further amenities and transport links.
