Blackburn is one of those northern towns that's steeped in heritage and built on hard graft. It sits in the heart of Lancashire, right between the West Pennine Moors and the Ribble Valley, offering a mix of urban energy and countryside calm. It's not flashy or showy, but there's a strong sense of pride here—built around industry, culture, football and a down-to-earth way of life.

The town has deep roots in the textile trade, especially cotton, and during the Industrial Revolution, it was right up there as one of the major centres of weaving. At one point, it was said to have more looms than people. That legacy still lingers, though the mills have largely given way to modern developments. Blackburn's home to around 120,000 people now, and while it's shifted with the times, you still get that sense of industrial grit alongside new investments in culture and education.

In terms of things to do, Blackburn's got plenty going on. The cathedral in the town centre is striking—modern in parts, but still holding onto its historic feel. The King George's Hall brings in live music and comedy, while Blackburn Museum & Art Gallery gives a peek into the town's past. For green space, Witton Country Park stretches out for miles and is perfect for a walk or family day out. A short drive takes you to Samlesbury Hall, a brilliant National Trust-supported manor with loads of character. Hoghton Tower, linked to English Heritage, is another nearby gem, full of Tudor history and ghost stories. There's also the old Roman site at Ribchester, just outside town, which gives you a proper sense of how far back the area's story goes.

If you fancy going further afield in Lancashire, there's plenty to keep you busy. Head into the Ribble Valley for walking trails, cosy pubs and rolling hills. Pendle Hill's not just a hike, it's part of local legend, especially with the tales of the Pendle witches. Clitheroe's worth a visit, with its little castle and independent shops. Or pop into Preston or Burnley if you want a bit more city vibe without the chaos. Lancashire's countryside really ties the region together, and Blackburn makes a solid base for exploring it all.

Blackburn's easy to reach whether you're driving or coming in by train. The M65 runs right through, linking up with the M6 and M61, making the town well connected across the North West. There are regular trains to Manchester, Leeds and Preston from Blackburn station, with Manchester Airport being the nearest major airport—about an hour away by car or train. Local buses do the job for getting around town or heading into the villages and nearby areas, and there's a good mix of cycle paths and walking routes too if you're keeping it green.

Lancashire's one of those counties that tends to get on with things without shouting about itself. There's a proper northern soul to it—built on industry, strong communities and a love for the land. From the mills of yesteryear to the rural charm of villages and the rise of arts and food culture, it's a place that doesn't need polishing to be appreciated. Blackburn fits into that perfectly—honest, busy, and packed with history that still lingers in the streets and skyline.
