East Lancashire Railway - (Rawtenstall,Station)

Heritage preservation

😐 Very busy due to the Scotsman. Great place to visit. Only thing that dropped the rating for me was a certain demographic that pushed my 4 year old out the way to get past and take pictures. Happened more than once. Yes the trains are from your generation but they are for everyone to enjoy. Who do yo...

Helmshore Mills Textile Museum

Local history museum

👍👍 We had a lovely afternoon here with an interactive exhibition on both cotton and wool. There is a rich and deep history recorded here and it is fascinating for locals as well as textile enthusiasts. The tour is fab, the machines still work and the staff as super knowledgable and friendly. I'll defi...

Jackhouse Nature Reserve

👍👍 A wonderful place to feed the soul. There should be a path to the waterfall, it looks like this. See if you can spot the herons. I saw 3 deer this morning.

Oswaldtwistle Dog Park & Doggy Daycare

Dog park

👍 Golden hour at the field is always beautiful. Although moody, it is a good field. There were few poos from previous field users, and it seemed like sewer nearby has been recently emptied (smell). Also, the bottom part of the field had unsettling looking skum in the mood (weird color). No matter wha...

Spring Wood, Whalley

Nature preserve

👍👍 Lovely walk we found in Whalley. Visited with the dogs due to staying nearby in a lodge. We found this park online and went to visit. Parking is £1 all day but as the machine wasn’t working it came to £1.20 on the RingGo app. Easy parking and easy to navigate around, not too strenuous, plenty of pat...

Peel Park & The Coppice

Park

👍👍 Always a lovely place to be. A park for the children (and adventurous adults!), Large grassy areas for a picnic. The Coppice itself is a great walk, up the steps (good thigh workout!) and follow the pathways to the very top for fabulous views over Accrington and the surrounding areas. Popular with d...

Playtime Play Centre

Children's amusement center

The Palm Tree Company

Plant nursery

👍👍 After reading a few negative comments I had a few reservations about ordering from this site. What a mistake that would have been. Very fast delivery and a Yucca Filifera that exceeded my expectations. Once in the ground it must still be 7-5 to 8ft tall. A beautiful healthy specimen and pride of pla...
