Welcome to Dam Side

Dam Side is a small village located in the county of Lancashire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Ribble, which is one of the longest rivers in the United Kingdom. The village is known for its beautiful scenery, with rolling hills and lush green fields surrounding it. The village is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the Dam Side Mill, which was once a thriving cotton mill.

One of the main attractions of Dam Side is the River Ribble, which is a popular spot for fishing and boating. The river is home to a variety of fish, including salmon, trout, and grayling, making it a popular destination for anglers. The river is also a great place to go for a leisurely stroll, with many scenic walking trails along its banks.

Another popular attraction in Dam Side is the Dam Side Mill, which was built in the 19th century. The mill was once a major employer in the area, with hundreds of workers producing cotton goods for export around the world. Today, the mill has been converted into luxury apartments, but the original architecture and machinery have been preserved, giving visitors a glimpse into the area's industrial past.
