One of the striking things about living in the charming Rossendale Valley is the invaluable work-life balance that can be offered. It is the perfect location to take in a natural country scene and enjoy the ambience in the coffee shops, markets and microbreweries in the friendly town centres.
You can head for a stroll straight after work, cycle along the trails or horse ride along bridleways which overlook the dramatic landscapes. Embrace the adrenaline attractions at the Water-ski Academy, Grip & Go and the Ski & Snowboard Centre or simply hop on the heritage railway with a pleasant steam train experience through the countryside, stopping at the picturesque village of Irwell Vale.
Posh Living in Rawtenstall Bus Station is now OPEN! It's wonderful to see a business relocating their established business into Rawtenstall.
The fit out of this shop has been made possible by LCC's Lancashire Economic Recovery Grant and a contribution from RBC.
Have you seen the wonderful news that Rawtenstall has been named one of the best places to live in the North West?
