Newchurch Lancashire Map

About Newchurch

Newchurch rests in a fold of Lancashire's Rossendale landscape, where the air often carries the scent of damp earth and distant heather. It lies 2.2 km east of Rawtenstall (from Rawtenstall: bearing 98°T, OS grid SD 833 224), and is situated north of Cowpe village. The stone of its older buildings seems to absorb the diffused light that filters through the often-clouded skies, giving the place a gentle, enduring character. Though the industrial past of Rossendale whispers in the surrounding valleys, Newchurch itself presents a quieter, more residential face, its lanes winding with an unhurried grace. The occasional glimpse of distant moorland, a sweep of purple and brown against the horizon, suggests the wilder country that lies just beyond the familiar fields and hedgerows.
