Little outward evidence remains of Blackburn’s textile heritage though it is featured in the Blackburn Museum & Art Gallery and Lewis Textile Museum complex, which also boasts over 1,000 Japanese prints, a good selection of paintings and sculptures as well as an award winning Asian Gallery of textiles, jewellery & furniture.

Witton Country Park is a 480-acre parkland which has a wide range of activities, plenty of picnic sites and loads of walks and trails to follow. The park also has treasure trails and some spectacular view points.

• Blackburn like Bolton has a premiership football team, Blackburn Rovers who have a large and loyal fan base. You can take a tour around Ewood Park -the teams home for a small charge and you can explore everywhere even into the teams' locker room and hospitality suite.
