Welcome to Padiham

Padiham is a small town located in the county of Lancashire, England. It is situated on the River Calder and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The town has a rich history dating back to the 13th century when it was first mentioned in historical records. Padiham was once a thriving industrial town, with a strong textile industry, but today it is a quiet and peaceful place to live.

One of the most notable landmarks in Padiham is Gawthorpe Hall, a beautiful Elizabethan country house that is now open to the public. The hall was built in the early 17th century and has been beautifully preserved over the years. Visitors can explore the house and its gardens, which are home to a variety of rare plants and trees. Gawthorpe Hall is also home to a museum that showcases the history of the local area.

Padiham is a great place to visit for those who love the outdoors. The town is surrounded by beautiful countryside, including the Forest of Bowland, which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are plenty of walking and cycling routes in the area, as well as opportunities for fishing and birdwatching. Padiham is also home to a number of parks and green spaces, including Memorial Park, which is a popular spot for picnics and family outings.
