Barrow in Ribble Valley in Lancashire, England is a small rural village set among the rolling farmland and limestone scenery of the Ribble Valley. It lies within easy reach of market towns such as Clitheroe and gives good access to riverside and hill walking on the fringes of the Forest of Bowland, with long views over the River Ribble valley.
Historically the settlement has agricultural roots going back to the medieval period, and today combines traditional farming with a commuter population and a quiet local life centred on the village hall, church and pub; several historic stone buildings hint at its past.
