Further Information and Other Local Ideas
Head west along the Witton Weavers Way and you could pay a visit to the nearby Hoghton Tower. The fortified manor house dates from the 16th century and takes its name from the de Hoghton family, its historical owners since at least the 12th century. It's open to the public on certain days and includes lovely grounds and gardens to explore. You can also visit the pretty Samlesbury Bottoms and enjoy riverside trails along the River Darwen in this area.
In Blackburn there's a nice waterside walk along Fishmoor Reservoir.
