BEST Park in ENGLAND..... probably, Bold Venture Park - Darwen

Bold Venture Park in Darwen, Lancashire is probably the best park in England. It is often described as the gate way to the West Pennine Moors and therefore, is a great place to start a hike up to Darwen Tower and beyond. Alternatively, the park has a rich heritage to explore and also has many artistic features and sculptures. Why not join me as I follow Huntington Heritage Trail through the park and beyond.
The park has an initial formal layout and changes as it travels uphill and the steepness can be challenging in places but does consequently offer a good walking challenge. As you travel upward there are a series of water features including a forty foot high waterfall.
Children are well catered for as there is a good playground with a varied selection of play equipment. However, children will equally be entertained by the various animal wooden sculptures and the giant table and chair, which is know as Huntington's Parlour which they can pose in for the inevitable photo.
This video captures all these features as we amble through the park and out on to the moors to visit Darwen Tower (sometimes known as Jubilee Tower). We return and ensure we capture some of the remaining features including a stone relief scupture before explaining why we believe this to be the best municipal park in England.
The friends of Bold Venture Park are constantly restoring and improving the park, please consider donating below:

Even a small donation would help Friends of Bold Venture Park reach their fundraising target. And if you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share this video to help spread the word.

It Was Nice Back in the 60's !!

[@AmblingTrails]

I can imagine and suspect that is true of lots of parks, they don’t get the investment but at least ‘the friends of’ the park are trying to halt the decline. Thanks for the comment and I appreciate the watch.

U missed out the best bit; the big waterfall!

[@AmblingTrails]

Apologies, there was a reason at the time, but I can't recall now. Still think it's a great park though, visited many since and I would still claim it's the best in England. Thanks for watching.

Great video really enjoyed it and now ill be bringing my kids for a family day out very soon there, just a quick question, is that water fall natural like a natural spring?

[@AmblingTrails]

Hi Muhammad, yes the waterfall is natural, all the water emanates from the moors above. Best time to go is a couple of days after we've had rain, so you can see a good flow over the waterfall. Hope the family enjoys the trip and thanks for watching.

[@christhomas9956]
