Shawforth
England
Shawforth perches in Lancashire's Rossendale Valley, accessible via the A681 between Bacup and Todmorden. Most arrive from Manchester through Bury on the A56, then climb into the Pennines. The village sits beneath a striking Victorian railway viaduct that once carried trains across the valley but now serves as a dramatic stone monument to the area's industrial heritage.
