Longridge

This charming market town, on the cusp of the Forest of Bowland AONB, offers a blend of rural tranquility and community spirit. Historically shaped by its famous Longridge Stone quarries, today Longridge boasts a distinctive high street and serves as a popular base for exploring Lancashire's countryside. With around 7,500 residents, it retains a welcoming, close-knit atmosphere, just a short drive from Preston.
