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.
