The Trust has a few Offices and Visitor Centres around Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside, the main one being our Head Office at the Barn. It is nestled within the beautiful surroundings of the 600 acre Cuerden Valley Park and due to being just minutes away from the M6, M61 and M65 its easy to get to.
