New to the area?  Here are a few fantastic spots you'll want to make a beeline for when you move in, or even when you're just taking a look around on a short break.

Pendle Hill

Dales View Park is technically based in the Pendle district of Blackburn, meaning you'll be able to head out to the famous Pendle Hill with little issue.  This rolling, rugged landscape has some incredible history behind it.  As well as being a haven for walkers, with a 43-mile trail awaiting the bravest of countryside travellers, it was once home to the 17^th century witch trials which took place in the area.  We live in enlightened times, now, but it's still incredible to think that such history once took place on this very hill.

Pendle Hill is a truly stunning day out for anyone who wants to explore rural Pendle and Lancashire at its most picturesque.  The lengthy walking trails should entice you to come back again and again.  If not, the incredible history might!  Do make sure to take in the towns and villages along the way, too – there's a lot of tradition and northern charm to take in here.

Thornton Hall Country Park

Thornton Hall Country Park is only a short drive away.  It is widely known as one of the most popular outdoor family resorts in the region.  It has been recognised not only for its acres of beautiful land, but for its dedication to education and events.  Whether you want to take a stroll through the parkland to catch your breath, or you want to take the family for a closer look at some of the animals, it's a day out you can tailor to your own tastes.

The Park is famous for its various shows and events, with many seasonal affairs setting up across the year.  You'll be surprised at what goes on down at Thornton Hall.  Why not take a look at what's on in the coming weeks, and plan a visit?  With it being so close, you may even want to become a regular patron if you choose to move in.

Gawthorpe Hall

Gawthorpe Hall is an Elizabethan stronghold which is protected by the National Trust.  Based near Burnley, it is a step into the past which is easy enough to travel to from Dales View Park.  The Trust refers to Gawthorpe as the â'Downton Abbey of the North', which should give you some idea of what to expect when you come and visit!  There are huge collections of portraits, textiles and needlework available for you to peruse when you arrive. 

It's not just a great day out for art or heritage lovers, however, as the area has been developed for families to visit, too.  The gardens here are great fun if you're bringing children, and there is a nearby woodland trail which you may wish to explore at your leisure.

The Forest of Bowland

The Forest of Bowland is a recognised area of outstanding natural beauty and is home to rolling hills and stunning, verdant landscapes as far as the eye can see.  You'll find it not too far from Pendle Hill, and much like the historical landscape there, there's plenty for you to traverse if you like a good, long walk.  There are lots of special walking trails as well as cycle routes and regular events planned here, too.

The Forest of Bowland is a particularly special slice of Lancashire as it is well-preserved.  Its official status as an AONB means that there are always plenty of people looking after the land to ensure it retains its mystifying appeal.  Why not plan a walk or two here if you move to Dales View Park?  It is not too far away from the community, meaning you may wish to make the Forest a local haunt.

Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery

Blackburn is well worth visiting if you move to the park community; however, you may wish to make a point of visiting its famous gallery and museum.  Based in the heart of Blackburn itself, the collections here are always changing.  It's been open since the 19^th century, and since then, it has become well-known for its special collections of ancient coins and historical manuscripts, as well as its Japanese and Egyptian collections.

If the idea of stepping back into the ancient pasts of Africa and South Asia appeals to you, there is always a lot to see and explore here.  This is all the more reason why it is a popular haunt for school groups, as it is seen as an educational day out for all ages, not just the young ones!

Witton Country Park

If you'd prefer to head back to nature and to cast your eyes over some stunning reserves, you're going to want to make Witton Country Park one of the first places you visit in the local area.  Based in nearby Blackburn, there are around 480 acres of country land here to traverse.  Therefore, whether you enjoy walking, cycling or picnicking, the vast open space is yours for the taking.  That's providing you respect it, of course!

The Park is based on the land of the old Witton House, which was demolished in the mid-20^th century.  Since then, however, the land has been set up as a fantastic nature reserve.  It's certainly a popular port of call for many people who want to get back to the natural world.
