The village and civil parish of Foulridge sits in the borough of Pendle in Lancashire, north‑west England. It occupies undulating countryside on the edge of the Pennines, overlooked by Pendle Hill, and is notable for its reservoir and the nearby Leeds and Liverpool Canal tunnel and feeder - an attractive stretch of water that is popular with walkers, anglers and boaters.
Historically a rural farming community with links to the county’s textile heritage, Foulridge today retains a close‑knit village character with a village hall and local pubs, small businesses and farms. Many residents commute to nearby towns such as Colne, while the canal and surrounding countryside bring a modest amount of leisure tourism and keep the parish connected to the wider landscape of the region.
