Chipping is a picturesque village situated in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in the county of Lancashire. This medieval conservation area benefits from good connectivity to other towns in the North West of England, being situated 8.5 miles north west of Clitheroe and 12.7 miles north east of Preston.
Positioned close to the south-western edge of the Forest of Bowland, Chipping is an area of incredible natural heritage in the heart of the Ribble Valley. The Valley provides a connection between Chipping and the Forrest of Bowland whilst forming a gateway to Sykes Fell from both Longridge and Clitheroe.
Given its well-documented history and subsequent conservationist efforts, the area is widely renowned for its unspoilt countryside and wildlife, earning it the official title of an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' [AONB]. The area also won the RHS Britain in Bloom Gold Award for the Best Village in 2009, in addition to more recent awards in 2016 and 2017 for the Northwest in Bloom competitions.
