In This Weather
 
With today being a very nice day we are looking for places to go. We live in accrington so something not too far away. Somewhere to have a walk , a local pub and even an ice cream van. I think you kind of get my gist. All suggestions are welcome :)

Have a walk around Oakhill park, then a pint in a pub on Manchester road, or have a walk around Rhyddings park, or Ossy Mills, or a walk along the canal, use your imagination ..... Kids these day, they haven't a bloody clue ;-)

I go to Sabden pretty often with my grandkids, take a football, have a few goes on the death slide, check out the brook for bullheads under the stones, send the kids for a calypso , Pendle Witch pub, and then up to the Nick o Pendle and a scout along the sheep tracks, my girls love it!

Townley Hall - Burnley.
Great walks and lots of history inside the Hall itself. Usually some kids activities too during school holidays.

Catch the train from Accrington to Entwistle. The Strawberry Duck The Strawbury Duck | Turton, Bolton is right on the station. You can walk the 2.9 miles around the reservoir and have lunch in the pub. Dogs are allowed in the pub and they have a little room on the left with a couple of tables they ask you to use if your dog is dirty. The path around the reservoir is suitable for prams/pushchairs. There are often a couple of muddy puddles and the path is narrow are the far end of the res but I have been round with people with pushchairs.

If you want a slightly longer walk the res next to Entwistle is called Wayoh. It is 4.1 miles around it and the paths are not suitable for prams. A couple of short hill sections and some of it is through the woods.

If you want to drive there are a couple of car parks, stick Batridge Road, Bolton into your sat nav. I think the nearest postcode to the car parks is BL7 0EH

Both are lovely walks.
