Paythorne is a small, sparsely populated rural parish in the Ribble Valley district of Lancashire, England, made up of scattered farms and a tiny hamlet rather than a nucleated village. Its character is agricultural, with stone-built farmhouses, lanes and dry‑stone walls set in rolling pastures and moorland-edge scenery.
The area has a long farming history and attracts walkers and wildlife enthusiasts thanks to quiet footpaths and its proximity to the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; locally you can still see traditional field patterns and the social life is centred on farming communities and nearby market towns for services and events.
