POI information

A. The Hyndburn Greenway: The route takes in a small portion of this Greenway, a quiet, traffic-free path which runs between Church Railway Station and Baxenden. There is also a link to Great Harwood. The Hyndburn Greenway is a great place for a walk: The route through Woodnook from Accrington to Baxenden is a particular delight. Another feature of the route is a stunning causeway across a lake, known as Platts Lodge on the edges of Accrington town centre.
