The parish of Simonstone sits in the borough of Ribble Valley, Lancashire, England, and is best known for its quiet, rural character on the fringe of the west Pennine landscape. Rolling farmland, hedgerow-lined lanes and pockets of attractive stone housing give it a distinctly village feel, while nearby market towns mean shops and services are a short drive away.
Historically agricultural, Simonstone has evolved into a mix of working farms and commuter households who travel into larger centres such as Burnley and Clitheroe. Its situation close to the Forest of Bowland area of natural beauty and the Ribble Valley countryside makes it popular for walkers and those seeking a quieter rural life, and a small but active local community and parish council help maintain village amenities and events.
