Sunnyhurst Pub

Local pub, ideally located close to Darwen Tower and Sunnyhurst Woods. As Darwen's first Cask Marque recognised pub,we have a good choice of real ales from both the local Thwaites Brewery and other guest brewers, along with a good selection of wines, ciders and spirits. We serve food at weekends and are dog and family friendly, so why not call in a sample one of the finest pubs in Lancashire.

Bold Venture Park

Reviewed By Billygoat343

Unfortunately there’s no wild cabbage nests to have a rummage through but u can certainly have ur fingers in a few pies round here matey. A few trees here I’d say there’s at least 12, maybe more tbf. There’s a falling of water, also known as a waterfall, u may recall the stone roses had a song called waterfall, they got the song name from this very waterfall. There’s plenty of air here to breathe. There’s a bridge dedicated to George Micheal but after his death it was renamed after dimitar berbatov.
