Live
Pennine Lancashire offers the choice and space to live life to the full.
Busy thriving towns with excellent amenities and the social life to match? Villages and hamlets off the beaten track where community really counts? All are too numerous to mention – and all are surrounded by our great outdoors; the choice is yours.
Located less than an hour’s drive from Manchester we offer a commuter’s Paradise.
Many businesses are also choosing Pennine Lancashire as a base, creating an ever wider range of local career opportunities.
House prices are more affordable than in many areas. Multi-million pound investment continues to improve the quality of older housing and create new eco-friendly homes.
As for recreation …what do you want? Dining at award winning restaurants, spotting hen harriers in the Forest of Bowland, tackling Pendle Hill, touring a stately home (Gawthorpe Hall and Towneley Hall), cycling through breathtaking scenery, gallery going or maybe the thrills and spills of gliding, go-karting, dry-slope skiing or ballooning?
For those who seek indoor options there’s a rich and varied choice of events and activities.
As for bread and butter issues – there are farm shops and award winning tea-rooms, acclaimed restaurants and artisan cheesemakers, delis to delight and specialist shops and charming pubs a-plenty – you just have to know where to look. A good place to start is the Pennine Lancashire Festival of Food and Culture. This year's Festival is in August and September.
