Littleborough & The Pennine Villages

The Pennines is made up of four villages; Wardle, Littleborough, Newhey and Milnrow, which all sit snugly on the edge of the rugged moors.

Some of the North West’s finest countryside, all sweeping hillsides and rolling hills, are right on their doorstep and the quartet of villages also offer cosy coffee shops and unique independent retailers, where visitors can pick up gifts they wouldn’t find anywhere else.

You can experience some of England’s oldest traditions first hand in the Pennine villages, with Littleborough’s rushbearing weekend drawing in the crowds every summer.

Meanwhile, history buffs can enjoy a heritage walk covering four blue plaques commemorating notable former residents and their homes.
