The ward covering the villages of Fence and Higham sits on the eastern fringe of the borough of Pendle in Lancashire, England. It’s largely rural, with rolling farmland, stone cottages and easy access to Pendle Hill, making it popular with walkers and those seeking scenic views of the Ribble Valley fringes.
Locally there’s a strong village community centred on parish halls and a handful of pubs and independent shops, and the economy mixes small-scale agriculture with residents who commute to nearby towns such as Colne and Burnley. The area’s historic character - visible in older stone buildings and its place in the wider Pendle story - gives it a quiet, semi-rural feel with good countryside links.
