Well worth a visit. Owned by the same family since 1552. All properties are rented. The family also retains control of village development - so you will never see at village sign, a road sign, an overhead cable or a satellite dish in Downham. Was the location for the filming of the 1961 film 'Whistle Down the Wind'. Also has a very good pub, the Assheton Arms. Downham looks directly out over Pendle Hill, some great lighting at sunset.
