Mercure Hotels in Blackburn

Situated close to the Ribble Valley and the West Pennine Moors, Blackburn is one of the most important towns in Lancashire. The hills, valleys and moorland that surround Blackburn are dotted with picturesque villages and smaller towns, with the 480 acres of Witton Country Park one of the area’s many highlights. One of our Mercure spa hotels in Blackburn is located just outside the town, in the small village of Rishton. Just off junction 7 of the M65, the spa is well placed if you’re looking to organize a seminar, a meeting or convention in Lancashire, or simply after a relaxing break. For those hunting for culture on their visit to the Blackburn Dunkenhalgh Hotel and Spa, look no further than the town’s museum and art gallery. With a constantly rotating schedule of exhibits and permanent collections covering topics from South Asia – including the largest public collections of Japanese woodblock prints outside of London – to social history, you’ll be sure to find something of interest to you. If you want a break from relaxing during your stay, then take a trip 25 miles north into the Forest of Bowland. It’s an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so take a hike around the lush woodland areas or sample some of the fabulous produce at one of the small villages’ farmers market. The forest is also a sheep and cattle farming area, so you’ll find some delicious local lamb, beef and cheese to take home with you as gifts or mementos of your stay in Blackburn.
