Haslingden is a small town in the borough of Rossendale, Lancashire, England, sitting on the edge of the West Pennine Moors. Its hilltop position and nearby valleys give good walking country and reservoir scenery around the Haslingden Grane, with views towards Holcombe Hill and the Peel Tower, and on a clear day as far as Manchester and the Pennines.
Once a 19th-century mill and coal-working community, Haslingden still shows its industrial heritage in Victorian terraces and former mill buildings, some repurposed for light industry or homes. It has a strong local identity with active community groups, sports clubs and a brass band, and functions today as a mix of local shopping centre and commuter town while retaining a lively local calendar of events.
