Here are a few random photos from Towneley Hall in Burnley today

Posted byNorthwest nature and historyPosted in#LancashireTags:, , , , , ,
The Italianate garden (I couldn’t take in more of the hall in these shots due to scaffolding as part of current restorations)
7 Spot Ladybird on a Cornflower in the wildflower garden, Aphids (the little black insects) are their main food-source which makes them invaluable to gardeners!
The 200+yr old Lebanon Cedar
The carved wooden Tawny Owl which resides in the Cedar
The 400+yr old Towneley Oak with bonus sheep
Another shot of the Italianate garden
There are many sculptures dotted around the grounds
Wildflowers and interesting looking clouds!
There were lots of grasshoppers churring away, they don’t usually stay still long enough to have their picture taken like this though
Another shot of the hall
About Towneley

All photos were taken (badly) by me, feel free to use them as you may just please credit me!

Hi, my name is Alexander Burton-Hargreaves, I live in the Northwest of England and have over two decades of experience working in and studying the fields of land management and conservation. As well as ecology and conservation, in particular upland ecology, I am also interested in photography, classical natural history books, architecture, archaeology, cooking and gardening, amongst many other things. These are all subjects I cover in my articles here and on other sites and I plan to eventually publish a series of books on the history and wildlife of Northern England.
