Slaidburn is a rural civil parish in Ribble Valley, Lancashire, England, set within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The settlement clusters around a village green and a historic packhorse bridge over the River Hodder, with drystone cottages, narrow lanes and open fellland giving classic upland Pennine scenery.
Historically linked to the West Riding of Yorkshire before boundary changes, the area still has strong farming traditions - sheep and hill farming shape much of the landscape - while tourism and outdoor recreation now help the local economy. A small but active community, the parish is known for its heritage buildings, village events and local enterprises that make it a popular base for exploring Bowland’s lanes and fells.
