Often described as a village that has managed to keep its own distinct identity despite the growth of nearby Rawtenstall, Crawshawbooth sits along the edge of the Limy Water stream on the road north towards Burnley. It is characterized by its sturdy stone cottages and the impressive architecture of St John the Evangelist - a Grade II* listed church often called the 'Cathedral of the Valley.' Historically, the village thrived on the textile industry, and the remains of the printing works at Sunnyside still hint at its industrial past. Today, it feels more like a gateway to the moors; you can step off the main road and be on a public footpath leading up to the hills in minutes. It’s a practical spot to live, with a small but functional cluster of independent shops, including a well-known traditional butcher and a local primary school, all set within the steep, green landscape typical of the Rossendale Valley.
