Downham’s attractive cottages, stream and absence of overhead wires, aerials and signage make it a sought- after location for film and TV companies. Often described as the most beautiful village in Lancashire, a visitor information display at the village car park provides details of local walks and places to visit. The Assheton Arms can be found in the centre of this village, enjoying stunning views across Pendle Hill. This historic pub is popular with walkers and cyclists and also offers accommodation, should you wish to stay longer in pure luxury.
The Downham estate has been in the Assheton family since 1588 and they have ensured that this delightful landscape and beautiful village have been carefully preserved.
