Nelson is a town and civil parish in the Borough of Pendle in Lancashire, England, with a population of 29,135 in 2011. It is 4 miles north of Burnley on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. It developed as a mill town during the Industrial Revolution, but has today lost much of its industry and is characterised by pockets of severe deprivation and some of the lowest house prices in the country.
An Iron Age hillfort called Castercliff is on a hill to the east of the town. The area was historically known as Marsden. The modern town spans two townships of the ancient parish of Whalley. Little Marsden was on the southwest of Walverden Water, its lands considered part of the manor of Ightenhill and Great Marsden to the northeast, part of the manor of Colne.
The town centre is home to a low number of high street multiples, including: Greggs, Optical Express, Specsavers, Wilko, Superdrug, Home Bargains, Post Office, Thomas Cook, Martin McColl, Poundworld, Store Twenty One, Select Fashion, Boots and Betfred.
Nelson is served by Junction 13 of the M65 motorway, which runs west to Burnley, Accrington, Blackburn and Preston, and northeast to Colne. From the town centre, the A56 runs southwest to the M65 at Brierfield and northeast to Colne and beyond, while the A682 – Britain's most dangerous road – heads north into the Yorkshire Dales.
Rail services to and from Nelson are provided by Northern. The Interchange has an hourly stopping service west to Blackpool South via Blackburn and Preston, and east to Colne. The main bus operator in Nelson is Burnley Bus Company, although Tyrer Bus operate some services. National Express operates one coach service to London Victoria Coach Station each day from the Interchange.

Colne is a town and civil parish in Lancashire, England, six miles north-east of Burnley, 25 miles east of Preston, 25 miles north of Manchester and 30 miles west of Leeds. It is a market town and the cross allowing a market to be held there dates to the 15th century. The cross was originally in the Parish Church yard, but has been relocated in Market St, the main road through the town centre.
The town should not be confused with the unrelated Colne Valley around the River Colne near Huddersfield in West Yorkshire. Colne is close to the southern entrance to the Aire Gap, the lowest crossing of the Pennine watershed. The M65 terminates west of the town and from here two main roads take traffic onwards towards the Yorkshire towns of Skipton (A56) and Keighley (A6068). Colne railway station is the terminus of the East Lancashire railway line.
From the early 6th century to the late 10th century, Colne came under Northumbrian and then Viking rule, finally coming firmly under Norman control in the 11th century. Then, from the 1090s until 1311, the area was controlled by the de Lacys of Pontefract from their outpost at Clitheroe Castle. Pendle Forest and Trawden Forest date from this period; forests in those times being hunting grounds for royals and other nobles. St Bartholomew's Church dates from before 1122 when the town's market was located in the churchyard. The churchyard used to house the market cross and wooden stocks on wheels and people were placed in these on market days.[1] The stocks are now located in the nearby library. The market cross is in Market St.
The town developed in two parts: Colne, on top of the ridge; and Waterside, at the base of the southern slope, next to Colne Water. By 1296, a corn mill and a fulling mill had been established down by the river. Later, coal was also mined here. By the 15th century, Colne had become the main market town in the area with markets (latterly held on Tuesdays) and a major centre for the woollen trade, in particular for the production of lightweight kersey. With the Industrial Revolution, cotton manufacturing became the main industry in the town, fuelled by the completion of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in 1816, and by the arrival of the railway in 1848. By 1891 there were 30 cotton mills listed in Colne with more in the surrounding areas of Trawden and Laneshaw Bridge.
Situated on the edge of the Pennines, Colne has views of several well-known hills. Boulsworth Hill, which lies on the boundary between Lancashire and West Yorkshire overlooks the town from the south. From the summit of Noyna Hill to the north, close to the village of Foulridge, it is possible to look out across much of East Lancashire and into the Yorkshire Dales. Blacko Tower (Stansfield Tower) is clearly visible to the north west, across White Moor, which forms the long eastern slope of Weets Hill.
The hamlet of Wycoller, off the road to Haworth, is the focus for the Country Park of the same name. Although traffic free (visitors must park outside the village), the peace and tranquility is often broken in the summer months as tourists are drawn to the visitor centre alongside the ruined hall. From here a network of footpaths and bridleways pass through the ford or cross Wycoller Beck on a series of ancient bridges, up to 1,000 years old. A series of circular walks traverse the lower slopes of Boulsworth Hill, whilst the long distance Bronte Way passes through en route to Haworth.
Colne is approximately 5 miles east of Pendle Hill, arguably the most well-known local landmark. Owing to its association with the Pendle witches, many local people walk up the hill, but particularly at Halloween. Several nearby farmhouses are reputed to be haunted, and have featured on the TV programmes Most Haunted and Most Haunted Live.

Ribblehead Viaduct & Dent On The Settle -Carlisle Railway- Highest mainline station in England
(Pls Watch in Full HD 720 or 1080 )
We went to the beautiful & scenic village of Dent in Yorkshire last month.Through this village runs the Settle-Carlisle railway and we were really happy to travel in it.
The Settle-Carlisle railway journey is a memorable one to anyone as it passes through some unspoilt landscape and dales which are truly breathtaking.It also passes through some beautiful meadows and lush riverside pastures.There are 11 stations, 22 viaducts and 14 tunnels on this line.
The viaducts are truly breathtaking and are must see structures.
I really wanted to see the magnificent & the longest 24 arch viaduct at Ribblehead.We took the train journey from Dent to Ribblehead and back.We also walked near it & went under it.I did the train journey for a sorter video for easy viewing.
Welcome to England's most scenic railway
================================
Welcome to Settle-Carlisle country.The Settle - Carlisle Railway is without doubt one of Britain's most spectacular railway lines.
The line is probably the most scenic railway journey in England. It has survived two attempts to close it - once in the early 1960s and later in the 1980s. Both attempts caused local and national outrage. However, fortunes have now changed as millions of pounds have been spent upgrading tracks and stations. The line opened in 1876 - we hope the line is here for many more generations to come.
The 72 mile route from Settle to Carlisle takes you on a journey through the magnificent Yorkshire Dales, the line heads north up Ribblesdale between the towering gritstone capped fells of Yorkshire's famous Three Peaks - Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-Ghent.
Over the 24 arches of the magnificent Ribblehead Viaduct before plunging in to the longest tunnel on the line at Blea Moor. Emerging onto the side of Dentdale,(one of the more remote - and dramatic - northern dales) the line leaves the Dales at Garsdale and makes it way through the gentle, lush rolling hills of the Eden Valley. with rural villages and market towns before arriving at the great border city of Carlisle.
Ribblehead Station
===============
Ribblehead Station is in one of the most beautiful areas on the Settle to Carlisle line.This was one of the most difficult sections of the line ever to be built.The station is unstaffed.
The magnificent Ribblehead Viaduct - 24 arches crossing Batty Moss 100 feet below and 440 yards long, follows the station. Ribblehead station now houses a Visitor Centre in the refurbished station building.
Shortly after the viaduct is Blea Moor Tunnel, at 2629 yards long & built1870-1875.This is the longest tunnel on the line.The area of Ribblehead station and viaduct is one of the wildest and most remote in the North of England. Frequently there is a very strong wind and the weather can close in very quickly.
In 1938 Ribblehead became a meteorological report point.
Dent station
==========
Dent is the highest mainline station in England.Dent station first opened for public use in 1877 - it closed in 1970 and reopened in 1986. Dent village is situated 4 miles away and 600 feet lower than the station.
The weather is the prevalent feature at Dent. Snow fences made from old railway sleepers can be seen on the right when travelling towards Carlisle. These were used to try and keep the snow off the tracks, but were not always successful, as was found to be the case in the winter of 1947. At the peak of its use 90 trains a day passed through the station.However it is unstaffed today.
Dent Head Viaduct - 100 ft. high , 199 yds. long,10 arches, Built 1870-1875
Ribblehead Viaduct
================
Ribblehead viaduct is actually the largest and most famous viaduct throughout the whole of the Settle to Carlisle railway line. The viaduct has 24 arches, is 104 feet high and 440 yards long.Built 1870-1875.
The wind is very prevalent around the Station and viaduct and many signalmen, crossing the viaduct, going to Bleamoor signal box have been blown off the embankment. During the war a train carrying vehicles was even blown off. There has even been the odd steam engine blown to a halt.
Construction of Ribblehead Viaduct took 5 years although it was not decided until December 1872 whether to have 24 or 18 arches. This depended on the workforce available - either stonemasons or navvies. The brick arches of a nominal 45ft span were sprung with stone voussoirs. The stone was quarried between Selside and Ribblehead.
During the building of the line over 2,000 people mainly 'navvies' lived at Batty Moss in temporary huts. When not working on the line navvies and miners lived in squalid conditions, and drinking, gambling and fighting were the main recreation.A school and hospital of sorts was established and missionaries were even sent in. Many lives were lost during the building of the viaduct.
