Described as an 'unspoiled corner of England,' Ribble Valley is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with much to admire. And with parts of the idyllic countryside only just over an hour away from Greater Manchester, it's an ideal choice for those looking to explore 'paradise' within easy reach.
Tourism is booming there. Preparations are under-way for the Clitheroe Food Festival in August, which kicks starts a new week of smaller events across the Ribble Valley. Elsewhere, a new musical film shot in Clitheroe has just been released, highlighting the Ribble Valley to huge audiences.
Food is already seen as one of the district's key selling-points. And being a location for film and TV productions could become another.
