Burnley

Park with flowers

Burnley was once the cotton-weaving capital of the world - an industry sourced by the surrounding natural environment. Now, this industry has moved on, but our borough is forging a new future in the stunning Pennine landscape that remains. Burnley is reconnecting with her natural environment. What once provided power is now providing pleasure; what once provided employment is now providing enjoyment; what once created weaving places is now creating breathing places, Burnley's 'Breathing Places', for all to enjoy.
