Hurst Green is a large village in the Ribble Valley district of Lancashire, England, set amid rolling lowland and upland countryside that fringes the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The settlement blends traditional stone cottages and farmsteads with more recent housing, and acts as a rural hub for the surrounding agricultural landscape while sitting within easy reach of market towns such as Clitheroe.
Locally there’s a noticeable village-community feel, with a village hall, local shops and pubs, and recreational opportunities for walkers and cyclists on nearby lanes and footpaths. The economy mixes farming and small local businesses with many residents commuting to larger centres like Preston and Blackburn, and its history is reflected in older buildings and the pattern of lanes and fields around the village.
