Ribble Valley was among seven candidates in the North West shortlisted by judges at The Sunday Times
A 'hearty corner of Lancashire' with glorious countryside, excellent schools and 'community-minded locals' has been named among the best places to live in the UK.
It wasn't named the best in the North West - that accolade went to Stockport in Greater Manchester which judges said is 'in the throes of a mighty metamorphosis that’s turning it into one of the most exciting towns around'. Others in the region included Christleton in Cheshire, Kendal in Cumbria, Knutsford in Cheshire, Prestwich in Greater Manchester and Sefton Park in Liverpool.
Describing Kendal, paper also said: "Kendal is having a resurgence. A disappointing town centre used to make the Gateway to the Lakes a dispiriting contrast to the majesty of the scenery on its doorstep. "These are all places where you can feel grounded as well as upwardly mobile: they have a mature sense of community, lively, supportive high streets and an eye to the future, whether that is eco-friendly measures, transport and regeneration, or imaginative inclusion of new housing.
"Different people may be looking for different things, but what all our best places have in common is that people love living in them and are proud to call them home."
