Pendleton is a small rural village and civil parish in the Ribble Valley district of Lancashire, England, lying a few miles east of Clitheroe on the western edge of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The parish occupies upland pasture and scattered stone-built hamlets, with open views across the Ribble valley and surrounding fells that make it popular with walkers and nature‑lovers.
Historically agricultural with roots stretching back through the medieval period, the local economy remains centred on sheep and upland farming, supplemented by small businesses and commuters to nearby towns. Community life is quiet and close-knit, marked by traditional stone architecture, a parish council, village events and a network of lanes and footpaths that preserve its rural character.
