This village is perfect for a day out with old ruins to explore, a scenic canal-side walk and a pub
While Manchester and the surrounding area is packed full of things to do, sometimes it's nice to get away from it all and venture into the countryside. Fortunately you don’t have to travel far to find yourself surrounded by idyllic rural scenery.
If you look at the ruins today you can get a sense of the grand building it once was. In fact it was the 19th century Feniscowles Hall, which was once home to former MP Sir William Fielden and his family, Lancs Live reports.Examine the ruins up close and you’ll discover fascinating details, such as wooden window frames and intricate brickwork. The manor house is set in a stunning location, with the river flowing by it.
The manor was built in 1808, but it was abandoned in 1880 by the Fieldens when it became overcome by the disgusting ‘river stink’ as a result of heavy pollution in the area. Sadly it fell into a state of disrepair, but it’s still a fascinating place to see. The village is close to Witton Country Park and Ewood Park football ground. In the 1800s it was a teeny hamlet with just 60 people, but during the Industrial Revolution Feniscowles experienced a huge boom.
