Barnoldswick, Market town in Lancashire, England
Located on the slopes of Weets Hill, Barnoldswick stands as the highest town on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, offering views across Yorkshire Dales.
The settlement, documented in the Domesday Book as Bernulfesuuic, contained a Cistercian monastery in 1147 before the monks relocated due to agricultural difficulties.
The textile manufacturing heritage remains visible through numerous preserved weaving sheds from the 1920s, when the town centered on cotton production.
The town maintains regular bus connections to surrounding areas, with Manchester and Leeds Bradford airports within reasonable travel distance for international transport.
Barnoldswick houses the headquarters of Silentnight, the largest bed manufacturer in the United Kingdom, alongside the historical Esse stoves production facility.
