A location fit for a King

Stonyhurst is located in heart of the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Northwest of England. An inspiring and peaceful location, the other major landowner in the region is King Charles, through his Duchy of Lancaster. Royal biographer Sarah Bradford revealed in her book, Elizabeth, that Queen Elizabeth II herself would have retired to the Ribble Valley if she could.

At Stonyhurst children can enjoy being children and grow into outstanding young adults while benefiting from the wellbeing, safety and happiness that comes with life in the countryside. The school is based in a rural village in the Forest of Bowland called Hurst Green and Clitheroe and Whalley are our nearest small towns.
