The Atom Panopticon, Wycoller
Haworth Road car park, Wycoller Country Park, Laneshawbridge, Colne, BB8 7HX · Blackburn & Burnley
Pendle's panopticon - a sculptural viewing pod on the hillside above Wycoller village, sitting just below the Haworth Road car park so it's one of the easiest panopticons to reach with little legs. Admission is free and the walk from the car park is short, with big views over Wycoller Country Park. It combines easily with a wander down into Wycoller village and its ruined hall.
Spark Hub tip: Reach it from the Haworth Road car park above Wycoller (signed from Laneshawbridge off the A6068) rather than the village car park - the sculpture is just below the car park.
