Points of Interest

Burnley is surrounded by hills and moorland and is located on the edge of an area of outstanding natural beauty. You can walk around Towneley Hall with characters from the past, or take part in fun runs through Padiham Greenway, enjoy theatre performance at The Mechanics and in the park or visit exhibitions of sculptures or paintings at Gawthorpe Hall.

The iconic Singing Ringing Tree which stands high above Burnley on Crown Point Moor and has been named in the top 10 pieces of ‘sound art’ in the world. The splendid views over the town to the hills beyond make a visit for a closer inspection of this amazing artwork an absolute must.
