It's a village that boasts stunning surroundings, a charming character and a historic high street that is packed with independent businesses. But it has two personalities - with ugly scenes after dark becoming far too common for some residents.
Whalley, in Lancashire, is a picture perfect chocolate box village overlooked by the impressive Whelley Nab. By day, its cobbles welcome visitors to its bars, restaurants and shops, while the ruins of an ancient abbey point towards the village's rich history.
But despite beauty in abundance which rivals the Lake District, Whalley has a growing dark side, Lancs Live reports. Residents have spoken out over vandalism, drunkenness and anti-social behaviour which are all tainting the village when the sun goes down.
