    The gateway to the Ribble Valley and the Trough of Bowland, Longridge is a thriving market town. We have two large high schools, three primary schools (all of which receive excellent OFTED reports) and a special needs school for autistic children. We can boast a weekly market, a community hall, four churches, a small cinema/theatre, numerous 'watering holes', our own Michelin starred Longridge Restaurant and a holiday camp site. The commercial centre of Longridge is Berry Lane, beautifully lit by Christmas trees at present, there are varying choices of multi-cultural food take-aways and restaurants, along side wine bars and traditional pubs. In a previous comment, 'prestonrule' states that Longridge has a 'population of chavs'; my understanding of chavs is Council House and Violence. As Longridge has higher than average owner occupiers (not that there's anything untoward about council housing) and a lower than average crime rate, I think I need say no more. Visitors (of the non-chav variety) are very warmly welcomed.
