For a while Ann Edwards lived in the stunning, sun-drenched Canary Islands. But then she accidentally stumbled across somewhere even better to call home.
"I was looking for a house for my sister and I fell in love with it so much, I moved here myself," Ann told LancsLive, peering over her back garden fence of her home in Whitworth, at the patchwork valley hills in the distance.
"The people are great, I wouldn't live anywhere else now." Ann lives in a little bungalow set up and away from Market Street, which runs through the core of the tiny town. There's a host of terraced cottage clusters and little neighbourhoods interspersed among the steep lanes and hilly landscape.
