Summary

Description
English: River Roddlesworth River Roddlesworth in Tockholes no.3 Plantation.

The source of the river is on the slopes of Great Hill, just above the ruins known as Pimm's, where the infant river is known as Calf Hey Brook. Calf Hey Brook is joined by another stream occasionally termed Roddlesworth - which rises beneath Cartridge Hill and runs past the ruins of Hollinshead Hall - beneath Slipper Lowe.

From there, it follows a northerly course through Roddlesworth Plantations, around the two Roddlesworth Reservoirs fed by the river and past Red Lees (a name seemingly linked with that of the river). The river continues through the Stanworth Valley in Livesey, where it is met by Stockclough Brook, and under the M65 motorway and Leeds & Liverpool Canal.

Soon after this, the Roddlesworth enters a culvert close to the Star Paper Mill.

The Roddlesworth flows into the River Darwen at Moulden Brow. Between the confluence with Stockclough Brook and the Darwen, the river is known locally as Moulden (or Moulding) Water.
