Have to be staying around Lancashire/Yorkshire visiting friends and maybe taking in a game in a couple of weeks we have seen a place in Trawden we quite like on airBNB is it a nice place to stay and avoid idiots? Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

You will be fine in Trawden quite village with a good village pub that serves great food

Colne town centre is close by too.

It's really classy there.

Thanks Fazz it's appreciated I'm not sure I should thank Fidel for his input.

It it takes about 30mins to get out of Colne or back in with the traffic

Watch out for Trawden Girl. You should spot him/her easily in their tinfoil hat.

While you’re in Trawden, you may want to try a hike up Bouldsworth Hill. Not too tiring and gives you some cracking views.

Trawden will always be home to me.

Walk up Bouldsworth

Visit the Trawden Arms for drinks/ food

Alternatively walk along the moor bottom, starting at Coldwell Activity Centre and reservoirs

Visit Wycoller

Walk up to Lumb Spout


When are you visiting?

I left Trawden in 1994. Lovely village, and surrounding area, or it was then.

Trawden's great.

The community-owned pub has a big range of drinks and does decent food.

The community-owned shop opposite sells very high quality produce (the stuff from Inghams butchers in the fridge is superb) and has a decent range of beers and wines you don't see everywhere else.

A walk up Boulsworth stopping off at Lumb Spout, or a walk down to Wycoller, both well worth it.

You can also avoid the (IMO overstated) Colne traffic by getting to Burnley over the tops.

Book it

Thanks for your replies it sounds great will go-ahead and book it for the end of April and try and take in our promotion party when we stuff Sheffield United (again)

There's a couple of Ravens around the top of Boulsworth, very noisy too.

Trawden is great, Trawden Arms is a decent community owned pub and the surrounding Countryside is stunning…..it’s my playground, I’m out for a run around Trawden, Boulsworth Bottoms, Wycoller and Ballgrove this morning…hopefully it doesn’t snow
