Trawden Forest lies in the borough of Pendle in Lancashire, on the eastern fringes of the Pennines, with rolling moorland, small reservoirs and good views towards Pendle Hill. The parish includes the villages of Trawden and Wycoller and is well known for Wycoller Country Park, where the atmospheric ruins of Wycoller Hall and a stone clapper bridge draw walkers and photographers.
Historically shaped by hill farming, quarrying and the Lancashire weaving tradition, the local economy now mixes agriculture, small businesses and visitor tourism. Community life is village‑centred with local pubs, halls and events, while conservation groups and land managers work to protect moorland, footpaths and heritage that make the area popular with day‑trippers and outdoor enthusiasts.
