A 480acres of land in Blackburn was a part of an old manor house which was later transformed into an impressive public park known as the Witton Country Park. The park features natural river side trials, picnic spots, farmlands, rope bridges, musical sculptures, tree art and separate children’s playing area. There are a couple of musical events held at the park where the spectators can enjoy local and famous bands playing live music. A section of the park is also dedicated for the Blackburn Race for Life charity fundraising event that takes place every year,
