🌊 River Ribble at Edisford Bridge: Poor bathing water 1.4 mi · Environment Agency

Melrose sits in Clitheroe, right in the heart of the Ribble Valley, and sleeps up to six – ideal for a family holiday or a get-together with friends. With EV charging nearby and the cottage itself close to Clitheroe station, getting around without relying on a car is straightforward.

Clitheroe Castle Museum is just half a mile away, perfect for a morning out, while Gawthorpe Textiles Collection and Gawthorpe Hall are both a little further afield for those happy to travel a touch more. If you fancy some time by the water, the River Ribble at Edisford Bridge is close by, though do note the water quality there is currently rated poor.
