Re: The Virtual Tourist

Clitheroe: nice little Market Town with a Norman Castle.

Whalley: Pretty village with a Norman Abbey.

Ribchester: Pretty village built on the remains of a Roman Fort.



Accrington:-

Green Haworth; still some eighteenth century weavers cottages there.

Haworth Art Gallery: and the largest public collection of Tiffany-Favrille glass in Europe.

The Coppice: a fine place to view the borough from.

Among the things we are not so proud of anymore is Broadway, the bus station and the railway station.

A place to avoid like the plague is Scaitcliffe House, Hyndburn Borough Council live there!

Church Kirk: interesting eighteenth century church with a medieval tower, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

Huncoat: mentioned in the Domesday Book and some pretty Stocks. A walk along Kings Highway will take you through the part of the borough once frequented by our neolithic ancestors. Some very fine views up there.

A look through the threads in the Heritage and History Forum should give you a few more pointers to places of interest.

I hope you enjoy your visit.
