About

West Bradford & Grindleton ward encompasses several rural villages and hamlets set within the Ribble Valley's agricultural landscape. The area is defined by the River Ribble, which flows through its northern section, and by the rising slopes of the western Pennine fringe. Farming remains a central activity, with fields and livestock shaping the open views between settlements. The ward includes the communities of West Bradford, Grindleton, and Sawley, each with its own historic core.

The ward's character is strongly influenced by its geology, with limestone outcrops and quarries present in the scenery. Grindleton sits below the prominent wooded hillside of Grindleton Fell, a notable local landmark. The area contains sections of the Ribble Way long-distance footpath, following the riverbank. Historically, the former cotton mill in Grindleton, now converted, points to its industrial past alongside agriculture.
