Bank Fold Lancashire Map

About Bank Fold

Bank Fold, a quiet Lancashire hamlet, rests where the land begins its gentle ascent. It lies 3.2 km north-east of Darwen (from Darwen: bearing 52°T, OS grid SD 717 241), and is situated south of Belthorn village. The air here often carries a faint, earthy scent, a reminder of the surrounding agricultural fields that paint the landscape in hues of green and gold. Ancient hedgerows, gnarled and thick with the passage of seasons, trace the boundaries of pastures where sheep graze, their wool catching the soft, diffused light of the North West. A scattering of stone-built dwellings, their roofs weathered to a muted grey, huddle together as if for warmth against the wider sky. The quietude of Bank Fold is broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the rustle of leaves in the breeze, a gentle counterpoint to the wider world.
