Welcome to Britannia

Britannia is a small village located in the county of Lancashire, England. The village is situated in the borough of Rossendale and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its picturesque views and peaceful atmosphere, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The village is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Britannia Inn, which dates back to the 17th century. The village is also home to a number of small businesses, including a post office, a convenience store, and a bakery.

One of the main attractions of Britannia is its proximity to the Rossendale Way, a popular walking trail that runs through the countryside surrounding the village. The trail offers stunning views of the surrounding hills and valleys, and is a great way to explore the area. The village is also home to a number of other walking trails, including the Britannia Circular Walk, which takes visitors on a tour of the village and its surrounding countryside.

Despite its small size, Britannia has a rich history. The village was once a hub of the local textile industry, and many of the buildings in the village date back to this time. Today, the village is a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life, and is a great place to relax and unwind. Whether you're looking for a quiet walk in the countryside or a cozy pub to enjoy a pint, Britannia has something to offer everyone.

This Is A Very Picturesque Walk. There Are Several Different Routes You Can Take Depending On What Sort Of Walk You Want To Do. Dogs Are Allowed Both On And Off Leads, But I Keep Mine On Due To There Being Some Long Drops Down Into The Waterfall And River. There Is A Tea Room Which Is Open Most Days. Parking Is Free But The Road In Is Very Bumpy So Take It Steady.

This Is A Delightful Walk, Which I Came Across Today Whilst With A Friend And His Dog. It Is All On A Pathway Which Is Useful. There Are Some Quite Steep Rises And Descents. There Are 4 Reservoirs, All Linked And If You Take As Casual A Stroll As You Like And Go Round Each One Of Them, You Will Have Walked Around 4.3 Miles.
