Roughlee Booth is a small, rural civil parish in the Borough of Pendle, Lancashire, England, centred on the village of Roughlee on the lower slopes of Pendle Hill. The landscape is classic Pennine fringe country - stone walls, pasture and patches of moorland - and it attracts walkers and fell runners who come for the views and the network of footpaths up the hill.
Historically and culturally the area is linked to the wider Pendle story, including the famous 17th‑century witch trials, and the parish retains a strong sense of local identity. The local economy is largely agricultural with a steady thread of tourism and outdoor recreation; community life is typical of a small upland parish, with village events, conservation interests and a close‑knit social fabric rather than extensive services.
