Map of the UK

Roeburndale is a small, sparsely populated rural parish in the district of Lancaster, county of Lancashire, in England. It occupies a steep-sided valley carved by the River Roeburn, with upland pastures, dry-stone walls and scattered stone farmsteads giving a very traditional Lancashire fellside character; the area sits on the fringes of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is popular with walkers and birdwatchers.

Economically and socially the parish remains largely agricultural, centred on sheep and cattle farming, with a small trickle of rural tourism and holiday lets complementing working farms. Historic field patterns, vernacular stone buildings and a quiet community feel are notable, while conservation-minded residents and visitors value the landscape’s tranquillity and wildlife interest.
