Welcome to Sabden

Sabden is a small village located in the Ribble Valley district of Lancashire, England. The village is situated on the southern slopes of Pendle Hill, which is famous for its association with the Pendle witches. Sabden has a rich history dating back to the 13th century when it was known as Sabden-in-Craven. The village was once a centre for handloom weaving and quarrying, but today it is a peaceful and picturesque place with a population of around 1,000 people.

One of the most notable landmarks in Sabden is St. Nicholas' Church, which dates back to the 16th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and features a beautiful stained glass window depicting the life of St. Nicholas. Another interesting feature of the village is the Sabden Treacle Mines, which are a popular tourist attraction. The mines are actually a hoax, but they have become a part of the village's folklore and are celebrated every year with a festival.

Sabden is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for walkers and hikers. The village is located on the Pendle Way, a long-distance footpath that takes walkers on a circular route around Pendle Hill. The area is also popular with cyclists, and there are several cycling routes that take in the stunning scenery of the Ribble Valley. Overall, Sabden is a charming village with a rich history and plenty of natural beauty to explore.
