Rossendale

Modern Rosendale is a blend of rural beauty and urban charm situated a little over 20 kilometres north of Manchester. Also known as the Golden Valley, it is one of the areas where industrial revolution first flourished. Its climate supported the old watermill-driven industries of wool and cotton. The Waterfoot area hosts a considerable number of artists who have studios in the vicinity. During the medieval era, Rossendale was considered as a hunting reserve being mainly forested.

The Local Government Act of 1972 allowed the inception of the district. With the exception of Whitworth, the rest of Rosendale is not administered by a civil parish (more commonly known as unparished). The borough council of Rossendale is keen to the sustainable growth, clean environment, and an overall healthy constituency. The growing settlements transformed the area into market towns in the middle ages and has departed from being mainly forest area.

Explore and learn about the beauty of the valley through its museums and historical buildings. Exhibits showcase the heritage in both cultural and the industrial aspect. What is a valley if you don't explore the outdoors? Go walking or biking while soaking in the landscape. From textile mills and rivers to art gallery and early industrial era artefacts, there are a lot of things that you can see and enjoy to complete your Rossendale Valley experience.

The Singing Ringing Tree in Burnley is one of the four 21st century panopticons project of East Lancashire Environmental Arts Network.

This inspirational sculpture on a hill was recognised with a National Award by the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2007. The other panopticons are The Atom in Pendle, Colourfields in Blackburn, and the Haslingden Halo in Haslingden of course.
