Holcombe Hill

Hiking area

👍👍 Other than a brief visit in 2011, this was a favourite old haunt (hike) in my student days in the late '80's, and despite the overcast weather, the moderate trek up to Peel Tower surpassed expectations. Astonishing views (shame the pictures don't do them justice) plus could still make out Blackpool...

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...

Healey Dell Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 Beautiful walk on a sunny afternoon with my wife and kids. Not busy at all and we had a nice quiet walk where we could take our time and enjoy the views by the river and the kids even managed to put their feet in the freezing water for abit of fun! Be warned that one side of the river bank is a shee...

Healey Dell Fairies Chapel

Lee Quarry Mountain Bike Trail

BMX park

👍👍 Really good and definitely worth an explore on your mountain bike. Something to challenge everybody including some very steep and high descents, a nice drop-off area where there's five different drop-offs depending on how big your kahoonas are. Also a nice trail linking to Cragg Quarry that flows...

The Circle

Event venue

👍👍 Amazing, atmosphere and food. Wasn't sure what to expect upon entering but once seated soon relaxed and felt at home. Staff are amazingly helpful and friendly. Decor is out of this world .. gothic, rustic fusion, niche style may not appeal to everyone but the fact that it was actually a working c...

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...

Peel Tower

Historical landmark

👍👍 Really good place to start off the hiking season. Not to long and not too strenuous. Great views , not only from the top , but also all the way up. The car park is small , only room for about 25 cars. But we went on a sunny warm Saturday and had no problem parking on the roadside just outside the ca...

East Lancashire Railway - (Ramsbottom,Station)

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Cracking day out on the East Lancashire Railway - great volunteers keep it going and it's clear they enjoy what they do. I got on at Ramsbottom and did both directions. They stop at some of the stations long enough for you to get off and have a look at the stations a bit more closely.

Higher Slack Brook Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 A tranquil retreat from the world, recharge your batteries and enjoy the simple things. This area of the reservoir is moor wooded and green and is truly lovely. Great for dog walkers, there is some kind of a boating club but I have not seen it open, but just for a lovely walk with not many people ar...
