Rimington is a small, largely rural parish in the Ribble Valley district of Lancashire, England, characterised by stone-built cottages, farms and a patchwork of drystone walls and hedgerows. Sitting on the western fringe of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it offers open moorland views and sightlines towards Pendle Hill, making it popular with walkers and anyone who enjoys sweeping Lancashire countryside.
Historically agricultural, the local economy still centres on mixed farming, though many residents commute to nearby towns such as Clitheroe and Burnley. Social life has a village feel, anchored by a village hall, church and community activities, and the area retains a strong sense of local heritage in its farmsteads and lanes.
