| | Witton Country Park in Blackburn |
 | | Blackburn’s old manor house, Witton House, was demolished many years ago after being sold to Blackburn Council in the 1940’s. |
 | | Fortunately, 480 acres of land included in the deal have been transformed into an impressive country park with picnic spots, nature trails, woodlands and farmland. |
 | | The visitor centre, once the estate’s stables, now houses a café, a collection of renovated horse-drawn carriages and a miniature zoo with mice, voles, rabbits and squirrels. |
