Ramsbottom - A Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow

photo by Barry Aldous

An unspoiled Victorian mill town nestled in the West Pennine Moors.  We have a host of interesting Shops and Restaurants, some gaining national recognition.   There is a Heritage Society and a trail to follow the History of the area - Rambles take place regularly.  The more energetic may wish to walk up to Holcombe Village and Peel Tower on Holcombe Hill.  The town is close to the M66 and can be readily accessed by motor car, bus or East Lancashire Railway.

Regular Events take place in the town - Take a look for that special day out.

If you are a resident of Ramsbottom, you will find this site useful for finding out about local Organisations, Amenities and Recreation facilities.  You will also be able to keep in touch with local issues through the Local Area Partnership who also provide contact council offices and the useful services provided.

We also provide dedicated pages (Sub-websites) for local community minded groups that need the support of community minded people.

 If you once lived in Ramsbottom and wish to find long lost friends, why not ask Where Are You ?

It is said that the name Ramsbottom is derived from the expression " The bottom of the valley where the wild garlic (Ramson) grows ".  Now listen to the song that says it all.
