Haslingden

Lancaster stands on a still more commanding site at the mouth of the Lune, only a few miles below the famous crook.

Ramsbottom, Helmshore, and Haslingden lie at the foot of the noble moors that rise steeply on both sides of them.

The same is true of Turton, Edgworth, and Darwen.

Bury has the winding, well-watered gorge of Deepdale close at hand, and above it the steep slopes of Knowl Hill and the surrounding heights, while Burnley, Nelson, and Colne cluster round the huge mass of Pendle, of which it has been well said by Mr. F.H. Cheetham in his admirable little guide that more perhaps than any other physical feature of the county, Pendle Hill typifies Lancashire to Lancashire men.
