want and visitors can take time out and soak up the atmoshpere, enjoying the sun­ shine in peace - courtesy of several well- sited benches. In such a relatively small area, the vil­


lage manages to combine old-fashioned charm with a robust, modern approach to life. It supports a surprising number of shops and other businesses as well as an active night life. More and more cafes and shops have


opened over the years offering value for money and a warm Kibble Valley welcome. Whalley also boasts a recently revamped bus station, post office, numerous hair­ dressing salons and a historic piece of land in the heart of the village called Vale Gar­


dens. Easy to access with good rail and bus services, the stunningly pretty village offers plenty of parking. Two local pubs have modestly priced “pay and display” areas and there is occasionally space to park on the main roads and side streets. In addition, there is the famous viaduct.


The 697-yards long viaduct crosses the val­ ley and was built in the 1840s as part of the rail link between Blackburn and Hellifield. It is Lancashire’s longest railway viaduct


and has withstood the elements for more than 130 years. For rail enthusiasts, Whal­ ley Arches is an imposing sight. Like many picturesque Kibble Valley


villages, the fabric of Whalley is soaked in rich heritage and there are too many sto­ ries to tell here. Many enjoyable walks can be taken from Whalley. The nearby rivers of Calder and Hodder


provide for some breathtaking scenery. The Calder runs from the moors above Burnley through Burnley, Padiham and Whalley before converging with the Kib­ ble.


Whatever you are looking for, Whalley


most certainly has it all. The village offers something for everyone and its wonders never seem to cease. When it comes to pro­ viding sports and leisure facilities, Whalley boasts a cricket ground, bowling green, tennis courts and the recently-opened drop-in centre for youths. Whalley’s famous cricket ground was


where the first “Koses” match between Lancashire and Yorkshire was played. The village is further strengthened wth


the existence of the prestigious Oakhill College. Founded more than 25 years ago the attractive college, in Wiswell Lane' caters for children between the ages of two and 16, from all religious, cultural, ethnic as well as social backgrounds. And as for entertainment, there is no stopping villagers from having a good time during the annual Pick\vick Night festivi­ ties. The village is reno\vned for its annual Christmas shopping extravaganza, as it soaks up the sights and sounds of a Victo­ rian Christmas during a mammoth festive street fair with a Dickensian theme. During the annual event, the clock is


well and truly turned back to the 19th Century and brass bands, steam organs, fire-eaters, jugglers and school choirs have all been part of the line-up in previous years. Joyous attractions coupled with an


. authentic atmosphere enable visitors to sample rich pickings offered by local traders, who are dressed in Victorian out­ fits.


Pickwick Night is sponsored by a vari­


ety of local businesses and the aim of the occasion is to raise thousands of pounds for local charities. With plenty more to do and see, Whal­ ley is definitely worth a visit.
