The Clarion is situated in its own grounds within the "Hidden Valley" and is surrounded by a myriad of public footpaths. It is close to the Pendle Way and the Two Roses Way. We have also devised our own 40K walk which visits the Clarion House and the two former Clarion Houses at Burnley and Colne. There is a magnificent view to the North. We are deep in the heart of "Pendle Witch Country" Roughlee, Barley, Read and the Historic towns of Colne, Clitheroe and Whalley are within walking distance. Celebrated Pendle Hill is to the immediate North West and a few miles to the East, Boulswourth Hill towers over the Pennine Way. Within the grounds children can play under the watchful eye of their parents. There are lawned areas and an adventure playground. We will even lend you a bat and ball free of charge. Part of the grounds have been set aside fir wildlife and a pond as been dug to develop this potential. A survey of the flora was carried out in 2004 and the results are published on this web site. |
The Clarion House Thank You! We have received £18,000 from donations, fund raising and grants. This has enabled us carry out a major part of the renovation work including a new floor, the rebuilding of the veranda, external and internal painting, a new kitchen and an extension with indoor toilet facilities for the less able, baby changing facilities and a library. We need to raise a further £3.000 to replace the roof and improve access for the less able. |
