There is an extensive area of moorland to the west of Haslingden.
These moors are divided into Oswaldtwistle Moor and Haslingden Moor.
The area forms part of the West Pennine Moors.
Plans were made in 2007 to build a wind farm consisting of twelve wind turbines on the moors.
This attracted both support and opposition, but the plan was approved by councillors in 2010.
Further developments have yet to take place, and the plan remains controversial.

The nearby Snighole (eel-hole) in Helmshore is a well-known beauty spot.
The Grane Valley including three reservoirs to the west of the town is popular with walkers.

Victoria Park has a bowling green, children's playground, skateboard park and ball court.
The top of the park affords views of Musbury Hill.
