Clay House Park

Distance from Bowers Mill Aparthotel: 1 mile

Clay House Park is a hidden gem for those seeking a peaceful winter walk, a stone's throw away from the aparthotel. The park's Victorian architecture, set against snow-dusted lawns and ancient trees, creates a scene from a postcard. Take a moment to admire the historic Clay House, an architectural marvel amidst the winter tranquillity.

Shibden Park

Distance from Bowers Mill Aparthotel: 2 miles

Steeped in history and natural beauty, Shibden Park is a true gem for winter walkers. The frost-kissed gardens, adorned with Victorian architecture, provide a stunning backdrop for a stroll. Meander through the park's wooded areas, where frost-tipped leaves crunch underfoot, and the air carries the distinct scent of pine. The miniature railway is perfect for anyone in the family. It runs from the station and through a tunnel, going over two bridges! Open during weekends, bank holidays and school holidays (depending on the weather!). Learn more about the railway times here.

Cromwell Bottom Nature Reserve

For nature enthusiasts, Cromwell Bottom Nature Reserve offers an immersive winter experience. The trails wind through diverse habitats, showcasing frozen ponds, marshes, and woodlands blanketed in snow. Make sure to look out for winter birdlife and perhaps glimpse a majestic heron or the vibrant plumage of visiting winter ducks. You may be in for a treat if you're an avid birdwatcher!

Ogden Water Country Park

Distance from Bowers Mill Aparthotel: 4 miles

Just a short drive from the aparthotel lies Ogden Water Country Park, a winter wonderland waiting to be discovered.

Being open 24 hours a day, you can catch the beautiful crisp winter sunrise, a sight to fall in love with.
