Churchfield House
Tourist attraction
👍👍 A wonderful piece of local history, run entirely by volunteers. The cheese and onion pie is legendary! Booking is advised as it isn't open everyday and gets busy. Definitely recommend a visit.

👍👍 Took the chance to take a hike with the fine weather for a Sunday in February. Stunning scenery from the hill of Burnley, Padiham, Hapton, all round and beyond. The dog loved it too! Now to soak the old feet!

Ellen Strange Memorial
Historical landmark
👍👍 Interesting spot part way up the hill. Well worth reading up on the history behind it. Nice views to be had from here too and not much further to climb to get to the nearby summit trig point. Fairly quiet compared to the area around Peel Tower but the paths are easily to follow but will get muddy in...

Tourist attraction
😠 It looked like a lovely park , but I took my dog as it's a member of my family and got thrown out by Park Security , as no dogs are aloud to even walk on a lead anywhere in the park. Never going to that park again , what a shame.
