About Trawden

Trawden rests amidst the rolling hills of Pendle, a landscape that has shaped its character for centuries. It lies 2.3 km south-east of Colne (from Colne: bearing 125°T, OS grid SD 911 387), and is situated south-south-east of Winewall village. Historically, Trawden was a centre for the textile industry, its mills once humming with activity, drawing life from the abundant water sources that carved their way through the surrounding countryside. This industrial heritage is etched into the very stone of its older buildings, a quiet testament to the labour and ingenuity that once flourished here. Though the grand mills may now be silent relics, the spirit of industry and resilience continues to inform the local economy, with a focus on small businesses and a deep connection to the land. The cultural character of Trawden is often described as strong and independent, reflecting the hardy nature of its inhabitants. While grand landmarks are few, the enduring presence of St Mary's Church, with its sturdy stone edifice, offers a sense of continuity and community gathering. The surrounding moorland, a vast expanse of heather and peat, provides a breathtaking backdrop and a constant invitation to explore, its skies often painted with dramatic light. The annual Trawden Show, a cherished local event, celebrates this connection to the land and its agricultural roots, drawing people together in a spirit of shared tradition.
