HEYSHAM ST PATRICK'S CHAPEL AND STONE GRAVES A cliffside wander overlooking Morecambe Bay is rewarding in itself, but when you also take in the ancient stone-hewn graves that featured on a Black Sabbath album cover and the picturesque, ruined chapel on the cliff edge, it gets even better. There is a lovely circular route around the area that starts and ends in Heysham Village, and you can walk, or a cycle, from the chapel down the promenade towards Morecambe, stopping at great play areas on the route! Morecambe’s West End is often overlooked in favour of Heysham and the main promenade, but there are fantastic water fountains for the kids to splash about it and a stunning beach cafe where you will find some incredible homemade bakes. BEAUTIFUL GARDENS AND BOAT HIRE IN BURNLEY Lazing on the lake in a rowing boat on a warm summer's day, is there anything more relaxing? Head to Thompson Park in Burnley for time on the water, which we’re sure the kids will love, and a visit to their stunning, picture-perfect Italian gardens. The town’s green spaces are often overlooked, with both Towneley Hall and Gawthorpe Hall pulling in visitors for their interiors, but both have incredible outdoor spaces. At Gawthorpe Hall you will find beautifully manicured grounds, a wild walled garden and fabulous nature inspired play areas for kids to enjoy. Towneley Park is home to the town’s Parkrun every Saturday, an 18-hole golf course, pitch and putt course, cricket and football pitches, wonderful woodland, cafe, playgrounds, bowling greens and more. Did you know that Queens Park is also home to a Park Yoga event too? It’s just one of four locations in the North West where the weekend Park Yoga event takes place from 9:30 to 10:30am on Sundays from May to September.
