Barnoldswick

Barnoldswick, generally referred to as Barlick, is a town and civil parish within the English county of Lancashire. Close to the county border with North Yorkshire, it's just outside the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town is next to Weets Hill, and Stock Beck, a tributary of the River Ribble, may be observed running through the town. As recorded in the 2011 Census, the town boasts a resident population of 11005. Barnoldswick and the surrounding areas of West Craven had been part of the historic West Riding of Yorkshire between 876, the earliest known written reference to the Ridings of York in the Anglo Saxon Chronicles, and 1974, when local government was reorganised. West Riding County Council and Barnoldswick Urban District Council were abolished and replaced in this area by the Borough of Pendle, a part of Lancashire. Situated around the lower slopes of Weets Hill in the Pennines on the natural watershed between the Ribble and Aire valleys, Barnoldswick is the highest town on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, on the summit level of the canal between Barrowford Locks to the south west and Greenberfield Locks just north east of the town. It is positioned around 30 miles (48 kilometres) from the cities of Leeds, Manchester and Preston. Close by towns include Skipton towards the east, Clitheroe towards the west, Burnley towards the south and Keighley towards the southeast. Barnoldswick, with 12 letters, is one of the longest place names in the United Kingdom without repeating.
