About Rossendale

Rossendale occupies a steep Pennine valley in East Lancashire, once the heart of the region's textile industry. The A681 provides the main access via M66 junction 3, whilst the A682 runs through the valley connecting Burnley and Bury. The A680 offers a moorland route from Rochdale, though it's narrow and winding. With over 150 EV charging points and the Victorian Rossendale Museum housed in a former mill owner's mansion, it retains echoes of its industrial heritage.
