Police in the Ribble Valley are warning people travelling into the area this weekend to be on their best behaviour following 150 young people descending onto Whalley Abbey last weekend, harassing the Reverend and his wife, and other visitors to the site including young children. Police officers were assaulted while trying to disperse the large group, and it was found following a check of the site that parts of the historic ruins had been subject to criminal damage.
