A new base in the community-minded market town of Darwen provides you with all your everyday necessities on your doorstep, and more. The town’s weekly market and local shops make day-to-day shopping easy. And Blackburn’s larger amenities and entertainment are less than 15 minutes away by car.

From here, you're a short journey away from some of the UK’s most stunning landscapes. For example, the Lake District is only an hour away by car and is a popular walking and UK holiday destination. And for commuting to any of the major northern cities, such as Manchester or Liverpool, the excellent motorway networks will get you there quickly.
A well-located rural location, the town is only an hour’s drive from the North’s most beautiful nature hotspots – such as the Lake and Peak District. The picturesque Forest of Bowland and Yorkshire Dales National Park are also approximately an hour away – plus, the local Hatch Brook and Roddlesworth waterfalls are well worth a look.
Giving you easy access to the countryside and city life, the M65 motorway on the north end of the town connects you quickly to the main motorway networks. Darwen’s local train station provides convenient journeys to the region's nearby towns, and for international flights, Manchester Airport is just over an hour by car.
The town has an excellent range of ‘Good’ primary and secondary schools, including the ‘Outstanding’ (rated by Ofsted) St Cuthbert's Church of England Primary School. For higher education opportunities, the University of Central Lancashire is based in Preston, and you have the university cities of Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds nearby too.
