In Lancashire's Ribble Valley, a little rural community called Langho may be found. The village is divided into two halves, the old and the new. The new Langho was created when the railway was built in the middle of the 19th century, transforming it into a small but nevertheless active commercial centre. Since the Old Langho church was deemed to be too far away, the new church of St. Leonard was constructed in 1879. However, since the construction of the A59 roundabout, even the new church is now somewhat isolated. The historic area of the hamlet is regarded as a true gem, rich in history for tourists to discover. The mediaeval church of St. Leonard was constructed using masonry from Whalley Abbey, which was destroyed in 1537 on Henry VIII's orders. The village has a few little stores, a school, and pubs and restaurants. The larger area, however, has a wealth of attractions to explore, such as Longridge Fell, which is located at the southern tip of the Forest of Bowland AONB. Its summit is perched above a patch of wild forestry and offers stunning views to the north and west, particularly of Fair Snape Fell and the Trough of Bowland.
