Sabden is a small ward and village in the borough of Ribble Valley, Lancashire, England, tucked into a narrow upland valley and surrounded by pasture and moorland. The little watercourse of Sabden Brook runs through the village and the area sits close to the rolling hills that lead into the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it popular with walkers and those seeking a rural feel within easy reach of larger towns.
Historically Sabden grew as a small mill and weaving community in the 19th century, and while much of the industrial activity has gone the settlement retains a strong local identity with community facilities, a primary school and village amenities. Agriculture and rural trades remain important alongside a number of residents who commute out to work, and the village is noted for its 19th‑century terraces and a generally lively community calendar of events.
