Oakenclough is an English hamlet located on the edge of the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire. Oakenclough is a small and scattered community, which appears to have developed largely as a result of a paper mill being sited here to make use of the water power available from the swiftly flowing River Calder.| Tap on a place to explore it |
