Hiking
Roddlesworth is a beautiful woodland that truly comes to life in spring and summer. Wild flowers here include lesser celandine, golden saxifrage and red campion, while bluebells also flourish. Chaffinches and grey wagtails are among the birdlife that can be spotted among the trees.
It's a glorious place to seek out for a peaceful ramble. There are myriad trails that explore the woodland and the reservoirs to the north. If you fancy something more strenuous, you can link the woods with a hike up to Darwen Tower on the high moors.
