It is situated within the picturesque Ribble Valley, and still retains something of that village atmosphere.

Ribbleton is also convenient for a visit to the UK's number one seaside resort at Blackpool, which features the Pleasure Beach theme park, a large zoo, the famous Blackpool Tower with its circus, aquarium, and ballroom within, plus countless other amusements along the length of the promenade.

There are also many more sedated activities available in the area, including the Windmill Animal Farm petting zoos and miniature railway for the young family; along with various country walks, historical sites of interest and numerous popular fishing locations for those seeking a more subdued break.
