About

Sabden ward lies within the Forest of Pendle, characterised by its rural upland landscape. The area centres on the village of Sabden, which historically developed around calico printing and weaving. The surrounding geography is defined by the steep slopes of Pendle Hill to the north and the more gradual Sabden Fold to the south, with farmland and moorland covering much of the terrain.

A notable local feature is the extensive network of public footpaths and bridleways crossing the open countryside, including routes directly up Pendle Hill. The village itself retains a linear layout along Whalley Road, with local services clustered centrally. The area's history is visibly connected to the textile industry, with former mill buildings still present in the valley.
