About

Ramsbottom is a market town situated along the River Irwell in the foothills of the West Pennine Moors. Its landscape is defined by steep, wooded valleys and open moorland, with the prominent Peel Tower monument standing on Holcombe Hill. The town centre retains a mix of traditional stone architecture and independent shops lining its main streets.

Local industry historically centred on textile mills and paper making, evidence of which remains in converted buildings. The area is known for its annual black pudding throwing competition, which draws visitors to the market square.
