Hiking
Brockholes Nature Reserve is probably most notable for its remarkable floating visitor centre, a UK first. It comprises shops, exhibition areas, a restaurant, conference centre and educational facilities for visiting schools. Designed by Adam Khan Architects, it has won numerous awards.
The reserve itself is a fabulous 250-acre (101 ha) wetland site in the flood-plain of the River Ribble. Summer is utterly gorgeous, with butterflies fluttering from flower to flower, birdsong in the trees and colourful dragonflies zipping about.
