Goodshaw & Cribden is a semi-rural ward in the borough of Rossendale, in Lancashire, England. It occupies the rolling moorland fringes and valley sides typical of the area, with stone cottages, farmland, streams and pockets of woodland; the landscape makes it a popular spot for local walkers and offers wide views across the Rossendale valley toward nearby towns such as Rawtenstall and Haslingden.
Like much of the district, the area bears the imprint of Lancashire’s textile past in old mill buildings and terraced housing, but today its economy is a mix of agriculture, local services and commuters working in larger towns and cities. It retains a distinct local identity, with active community groups and conservation interests focused on protecting moorland, hedgerows and historic features, giving it a quiet, village-like feel despite being close to the urban parts of Rossendale.
