Twiston is a tiny rural civil parish in the Ribble Valley district of Lancashire, England, set within the rolling landscape of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Rather than a compact village it comprises a scatter of stone-built farmhouses, barns and drystone walls across pasture and moor, giving it a quietly remote, unspoilt character.
Historically dominated by upland and sheep farming, the area remains sparsely populated with strong ties to neighbouring communities and market towns such as Clitheroe. Its quiet lanes and public footpaths attract walkers and birdwatchers, so rural tourism and outdoor recreation now complement the traditional agricultural economy while most everyday services are found in nearby settlements.
