The village of Ribchester is encircled by green hills and lies in a curve of the River Ribble mid way between Preston and Clitheroe. It is a pleasant jumble of multi-coloured stone cottages in long twisting terraces. It has three pubs, the White Bull, dated 1707, the Black Bull and the Ribchester Arms. The White Bull has a porch canopy supported by four columns said to be from Roman ruins. The village takes its name from the River Ribble and the fort of Bremetennacum (the walled town by the Ribble). For this reason, Ribchester has been seen to have a purely Roman foundation, but excavations in 1977 showed that settlements going back to the middle Bronze Age existed in the area. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Ribble Valley is a rural haven of spectacular scenery, diverse natural habitats and historical legend, a place of almost incomparable peace, where adults and children alike can enjoy the simple pleasures of the outdoors without the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Nearby Clitheroe is famed for its specialist shops of all types, including, amongst others, a sausage shop that sells over seventy-five different varieties! A gourmet's paradise, with award-winning restaurants and country hotels situated throughout the valley, and annual events including a number of agricultural shows and day festivals of all types, this fantastic location has plenty to offer at any time of year!

Previous visitors' comments about Ribble Valley Cottage:
Our first experience in a cottage, which was fantastic! The cottage had a lovely cosy feel to it, especially with the log fire but mod-cons made it feel like a home-from-home. A perfect get-away! Lovely surroundings. The dog loved the break away as well. The owners of the cottage were absolutely fantastic. A big thank you!
Mrs Templeman, Lincoln, January 2012
The location was excellent just one minute from the river bank. A quiet street but it was lovely to hear the children's voices on their way to school. Shop and pub within yards of the house.
Mrs Twigg, Southampton, November 2011
We liked everything. The cottage was superb, nice friendly village and pubs, as well as easy access to areas around and about.
Miss Edwards, Liverpool, October 2011
Good place for a tourist base. Lovely village with three very good pub/restaurants, plus a lovely little tea room on doorstep with nearby childrens play park.
