THIS video captures the sight of Oswaldtwistle from above.

Offering a bird's eye view of the town, the stunning footage was taken by resident Mark Cooper.

The film has been viewed thousands of times on Facebook and has been shot in one day using a DJI Phantom 4 drone and took several hours to edit.

Mark, who is from Oswaldtwistle, said: "I've been flying drones for 14 years and these images shows the broadfield area of Oswaldtwistle.

"I’m from Oswaldtwistle and I've got a Facebook group called Mcmediaandfilm which I hope to be able to make short films and film weddings.

"I really enjoyed making this video."

And Mark has taken a whole host of videos which he has shared on Facebook.

These include Woodnook from above, the Mercure Dunkenhalgh Hotel and Spa in Clayton-le Moors, Hameldon Hill in Hapton and Sawley Abbey in Clitheroe.

It shows the abbey of Cistercian monks in the village,which was created as a daughter-house of Newminster Abbey, and it existed from 1147 until its dissolution in 1536, during the reign of King Henry VIII.
