Clitheroe Castle Museum

Castle Hill, Clitheroe, BB7 1AZ · Blackburn & Burnley

Clitheroe Castle Museum

Perched on top of a limestone mound overlooking Clitheroe, this award-winning museum takes visitors on a 350-million-year journey through local geology, history and folklore using touchscreens, animations and sound points. Children under 18 get in free, and free explorer backpacks from reception add a treasure-hunt element to the visit. The surrounding 16-acre park — with its labyrinth and skatepark — is free to access any time.
