Bold Venture Park Waterfall

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bold Venture Park is a wonderful little park with waterfall sculptures. Although cycling is not permitted throughout the park, it's still nice to visit. I pushed my bike along, which is fine.

Darwen Tower (Jubilee Tower)

Highlight • Monument

Built in 1898 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, Darwen Tower (often referred to as Jubilee Tower) stands proud at 85 feet (26 m) in height on top of Darwen Hill, which is already 1,220 feet (372 m) above sea level.

It is a popular objective for hikers, which is fitting because it was also built to celebrate a victory in the local people's fight to gain access to the moorland. There's an internal staircase that allows walkers to climb the tower.

From the very top, the views are unsurprisingly stupendous. On a clear day, the mountains of the Lake District can be seen, as well as Morecambe Bay, Blackpool Tower, the Isle of Man and North Wales. Of course, closer at hand stretch the wild moorlands of the West Pennines.
