One of the best things to do in Burnley is to visit Gawthorpe Hall. The current hall dates back to 1600 and was redesigned in the 1850’s by the same man who designed the Houses of Parliament and Downton Abbey. Gawthorpe Hall has actually been given the nickname of the Downton of the Northbecause of this connection. It’s set within hundreds of acres...
Queen Street Mill Textile Museum is only the second historic factory that I’ve visited on my travels (the first being in Scotland as part of Scotland’s Explorer Pass). If you’re looking for unique spots in Burnley to visit, you’ll want to make a stop here. The mill dates back to the 19th century and is the last operational steam-powered weaving mil...
A bit of a hidden gem in Burnley, but still an important historic attraction, is St Peter’s Church. The oldest part of the church dates back to the 15th century, but the site has been a place of Christian worship for over 1000 years. It has a rather interesting historic graveyard surrounding it as well which you can walk around, and the church itse...
A very unique point of interest in Burnley is the Singing Ringing Tree. It’s a musical sculpture constructed of pipes, taking the shape of a tree bending in the wind. As the wind passes through the pipes, it creates a tune which you can hear as you approach it. It was completed in 2006, and the site offers incredible panoramic views of the countrys...

There are plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from, and you’ll be able to gain a further understanding of the industrial nature of the city. One of the most popular streets in Bur...
There are plenty of places to eat in Burnley, and after doing extensive research we decided to have lunch at The Palazzo, which is located in the heart of the city centre. The interior of the restaurant is stunning, with its high ceilings, elaborate decorations, and tall pillars. The building was built in the 19th century, and was once home to a ba...
Towneley Hall is one of the most impressive buildings in all of Burnley. It sits within the largest park in the city and has a history dating back to the 13th century. Entry to this historic house costs £2.75, and you’ll be able to visit its various rooms, learn about the history of the family who once owned the property, and observe some of the ha...

There are plenty of day trips from Burnley you can go on to the various little villages in the area, as well as a number of restaurants near Burnley to stop at al...
Out of all of the villages near Burnley to visit, I would highly recommend taking the short drive into Yorkshire and visiting Heptonstall. The first written record of this village comes from 1274. It’s historically known as being important for hand-loom weaving. One of the main attractions in Heptonstall is the Church of St Thomas a’ Becket, a ruin...
Located very close to Heptonstall is the popular Yorkshire market town of Hebden Bridge. Its location among fast-flowing streams and its access to major wool markets made it ideal for the use of water-powered weaving mills. The village began to grow in size and importance in the 19th century, and today this town is very popular with tourists becaus...
