Bowland Forest Low sits in the upland, moorland heart of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within the Ribble Valley district of Lancashire, England. The parish is characteristically sparsely populated, with rolling heather-clad fells, deep valleys carved by streams such as the River Hodder, drystone walls and narrow lanes that make it a favourite for walkers, birdwatchers and those seeking quiet countryside scenery.
Historically part of the old hunting forest, the area remains strongly agricultural with sheep farming and smallholdings dominating the local economy, supplemented by rural tourism and outdoor pursuits. Social life is centred on scattered hamlets and village institutions rather than a main town; traditional country pursuits, conservation efforts and a strong sense of local history and landscape stewardship help define the parish’s character.
