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.
