York is a hamlet in the Ribble Valley district of the county of Lancashire, England. Part of the Billington and Langho civil parish,[1] it is located southeast of the village of Langho on the old turnpike road between Whalley and Blackburn. For transport there is the A666 road and Langho railway station nearby. There is a pub, the Lord Nelson,[2] with an old stone well opposite. The route of an old road to Whalley passes along the hillside above the current road and joins the Old Nab Road. A rocky outcrop easily accessible by walking directly uphill from the crossroads is a good spot for a picnic with a fine view over the Ribble Valley, and for low level bouldering. On a very clear day you can see Blackpool Tower.
