Irwell Vale Lancashire Map

About Irwell Vale

Irwell Vale rests in a fold of Lancashire's green land, a place where the air carries the scent of damp earth and distant sheep. It lies 3.0 km south-south-east of Haslingden (from Haslingden: bearing 169°T, OS grid SD 791 202), and is situated south-south-west of Ewood Bridge village. The River Irwell, a ribbon of dark water, has carved its course through this landscape, lending its name and its quiet presence to the hamlet. Here, the old stone cottages, their roofs softened by moss, seem to lean into one another as if sharing secrets from a time when the valley echoed with the industry of mills. Even now, the light can fall in broad, even strokes across the fields, a kind of honest illumination that finds the truth in the rough-hewn stone and the hardy grass. The surrounding hills, cloaked in shades of bracken and heather, offer a sense of quiet enclosure, a world apart from the wider bustle.
