Mellor is a ward in the borough of Ribble Valley, in Lancashire, England, centred on the village and the surrounding mix of farmland and small hamlets. Sitting on the edge of the valley and within easy reach of the West Pennine Moors and nearby towns, it combines rolling countryside with attractive stone-built housing and a generally rural character.
Historically the area has strong agricultural roots with traces of 19th-century small-scale industry, and today its economy is a mix of farming, local trades and commuters to places such as Blackburn and Preston. The community retains village amenities - a parish church, primary school and active local groups - and is popular with walkers and families looking for a quiet, well-connected rural lifestyle.
