Wycoller Country Park
I had a touch of cabin fever and felt the need to get out. We’ve lived in Burnley for almost a year but I still feel like we are still finding our feet. We have visited some places nearby but there was on replace that I had seen on local “brown signs” Wycoller Country Park, I didn’t know much about it apart from the fact that one of the East Lancashire Panopticons was located there.
As it wasn’t too cold and the rain had stopped, finally, we set off to explore. After some very tight driving along the windy, twisty roads we arrived at the car park, which was quite derelict.
As is usual when somewhere I pick turns out to be a bit of a bust I started to make the best out of a pigs ear. We set off towards the major house, following the signs. The walk was pleasant and gentle and gave a chance to have a chat and a bit of a catch up. I love that we now live in Lancashire, it’s new to me, to have actually put down roots and to have begun building a life.
Wycoller Hall is at the end of a quaint little village, the local shop and cafe was just closing as we arrived so we explored the park and the ruins of the Manor House. While wandering we saw a couple and their little puppy which just made us realise that we wanted to add to our family with a four legged friend of our own. Now to try to put the idea into action.
