Foulridge is a small village and civil parish in Pendle, Lancashire, England, set in rolling Pennine countryside. It’s best known for its stretch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, including the long Foulridge Tunnel and the adjacent Foulridge Reservoir, which give the village a strong waterside character and pleasant walking routes across moorland beneath Pendle Hill.
Historically the area has rooted farming and textile links, but today the local economy and social life are shaped by tourism, boating and outdoor recreation; the canal basin, a couple of pubs and small local businesses cater for walkers, boaters and birdwatchers. The village feels quietly rural yet within easy reach of the wider Pendle countryside and its historic associations, making it popular with day visitors and commuters alike.
