Alkincoats Park — Attraction in Borough of Pendle

We frequent Alkincoats Park on a quite regular basis. We visit for our dog and also for the children to visit the playground and explore the nature area above the main grounds.

We'd been to Boundary Mill which is 120 mile round trip. We'd usually get a brew in one of the cafes but with coronavirus this wasn't an option. We also always have the dog in the back of the car but there is nowhere to exercise a dog in their car park. So I packed a flask and some cake and was delighted to find this park up a residential street in Colne. It was perfect for the dog to charge around with a ball for 20 minutes and the flask saved me at least a tenner on the cafe and we were able to relax without the need for masks, hand sanitizer and worrying about...
