Farnworth

Ranked #7,237 in Travel & Places, #197,054 overall

While Farnworth is a small town lying on the main road from Bolton to Manchester, it is fiercely independent, with its own town hall, and unique character.

For a start, walking along the main market street you will discover a wealth of locally owned businesses providing a service that I believe many larger, faceless towns simply cannot match.

While the town lacks some of the more obvious tourist attractions of say, York or Chester, Farnworth still has plenty to offer, with a vibrant and lively nightlife, live music, fine restaurants and a Country Park on its doorstep.

Axfords Farnworth

Axfords Farnworth

For the last forty years or so, Axfords have made Farnworth their home, selling timber and building hardware from their sawmill on the corner of queen street. Since those early days, Axfords have expanded their operation, with a dedicated kitchen and bathroom showroom offering a complete design and installation service based on your taste and budget.

But it is their experience with timber that most people think of when you mention Axfords. Their sawmill has a wide range of timber sizes at competitive prices while they promise to match any profile you require, simply bring in a sample and they will cut it for you.

If you need building materials and wish to support a local company then pay Axfords a visit. I've always found them to be friendly and approachable and I'm sure you will too.

Moses Gate Country Park

Moses Gate Country Park
If you have kids, take them down to Moses Gate Country Park! They can feed the ducks...or geese...or swans or many of the migrating birds that stop over on their way to warmer shores throughout the year.

A relaxing and pleasant stroll through the park will bring you to the large and well equipped childrens play area where they can burn off some of their excess energy before tucking into a picnic by the water, as you watch the animals simply being animals.
