Free days out for the little ones in East Lancashire

With the current situation and a lot of places we’d usually take the kids shut, we have searched high and low for free(and open!) days out in East Lancashire, here are our top five.

1. Brockholes Nature Reserve - Preston New Rd, Samlesbury, Preston PR5 0AG. Brockholes is a 250 acre nature reserve in the heart of Lancashire, located just off the M6 near Preston. The visitors centre floats on a beautiful lake and is still open along with the cafe. With 250 acres you are guaranteed to keep the kids occupied.
2. Lytham St Annes Beach, Promenade, Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, FY8 1LW. This beach is our favourite for a day out with the kids, quieter and more calm than Blackpool it boasts lots of character and even Lowther gardens you can walk through!
3. The singing ringing tree, Crown Point Rd, Burnley BB11 3QZ The singing ringing tree is an beautiful sculpture which on windy days sings with stunning views over surrounding Lancashire.
4. Clitheroe Castle, Castle Hill, Clitheroe, Lancashire, BB7 1BA Clitheroe is a great day out for the whole family, especially on nice days! You can walk up to the castle one of two ways so there is a shorter less steep route for those with little legs! You could also take a walk through town and get an ice cream from The Chocolate Works.
5. Wycoller Country Park, Colne BB8 8SX. The park itself is an absolute beauty spot with gorgeous views and a quaint village nearby. There are also ruins with loads of historical information so you can make it educational too!

We hope you have the perfect day out!
