Worsthorne is a village and civil parish on the eastern edge of the Pennines, a few miles south‑east of Burnley in Lancashire, England. Perched amid rolling moorland and farmland, it has a rural feel with stone cottages, winding lanes and good views towards Pendle Hill and the surrounding countryside.
