Miniature Railway
Developed by Burnley and Pendle Miniature railway Society and completed in 2005. The railway takes in the highlights of the park including the boating lake, the Italian Gardens and surrounding woodland.
Special events throughout the year include the spectacularly spooky Ghost Train at Halloween and Santa's Express in December.
There is a small charge to ride on the railway and it can be booked for children's parties during the season.
All the income is used to support the ongoing development of the railway.
Opening Times: Easter to the end of September (weather permitting). 1pm - 4pm Sundays and Bank holidays. Open Wednesdays during the summer school holidays Trains may run during October depending on the weather.
Directions: 2 minutes from Burnley town centre.

Soldiers from Burnley stationed in France during the First World War got a taste for the local tipple brewed by the Benedictine monks; today Burnley is the largest consumer of 'Bene' in the world.
