Towneley Hall and Park are excellent places to visit, particularly on a sunny day, and are right on our doorstep.

The Hall also includes a museum and art gallery, there are original period rooms and a Victorian kitchen, and servants` dining room.

With the exception of the top floor there is a lift to each floor, and there are also toilets with seperate baby changing facilities.

A new bus service has been launched to ferry visitors from Burnley town centre to the Hall and Park - and it`s FREE !

The Towneley Shuttle runs every hour, on the hour, between noon and 4.00pm, from the bus station.

At Towneley it operates within the park, shuttling passengers between Towneley Hall and the riverside car park around every 10 minutes.

The bus returns from Towneley Hall to the bus station at 10 minutes to the hour, the last one being 4.50pm.  The service will run until August on weekends, Bank Holidays and Tuesdays during school summer holidays.

The service is part of Towneley Park`s £3.2 million Heritage Lottery Fund restoration programme.

I used to live in Burnley and it is without a doubt one of the best places to visit and most of it is free. There are two garden centres on the site, two golf courses, a wildlife centre, extensive grounds and park areas, a cafe and the house itself is a fantastic place to look around. You don't realise what you have until you do not have it anymore Towneley is a fantastic place and one of the FEW places in Burnley that I miss.
