Sabden offers a great stop for an en-route refreshment. I love the White Hart Pub and, during the week it offers incredibly good value lunches.
You will also find a post office / convenience store to top up on water if necessary.

It also is a typical Lancashire Village. Situated in both the Ribble Valley and the Forest of Bowland AONB.
Then history if very rich, starting from the Middle Ages. At that time, the main industry was farming and quarrying. You can still spot some old vaccary walls nearby.
But more recently; the water quality in Ribble Valley was ideal for calico printing, and the industry took off in the 18th and 19th centuries. At one point, seven mills in Sabden employed over 2,000 people. Most of the houses were built for the mill employees and the industry continued until 1931. It was also home to cotton spinning and weaving mills. The last one closed in 1964 and is now an antique centre.
