Welcome to the Laneshaw Bridge Website
A small village and civil parish situated near to the Lancashire/Yorkshire border off the A6068 which runs from Colne through to Keighley.
Laneshaw Bridge is only ten miles from Skipton and seven to Haworth.
Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, in the shadow
of Boulsworth Hill and Emmott Moor.
The River Laneshaw runs through the village and it is here that the bridge, as in the village name, is to be found.
This regions main industry was traditionally Cotton, whereas a few miles up the road in Yorkshire it was Wool. Manufacturing and selling of both these textiles was, for many years, the principle trade here.
Now there are just museums and old and empty mills that evoke a time gone by.
Clues to this past are all around the area here.
On this Website you will find information on the many activities both here in North East Lancashire and neighbouring places all steeped in both history and culture as well as a useful accommodation guide. Laneshaw Bridge is only a few miles from the home of the Brontes, being so close makes it an ideal place to stay for exploring this whole area.
