Woodfold Park, Pleasington / Samlesbury / Mellor - Ribble Valley / South Ribble / Blackburn with Darwen (UA)
Park laid out in the 1790s providing the setting for a country house. The house is now subdivided into multiple ownership and various estate buildings have been converted into private dwellings. This progressive redevelopment has impacted significantly upon the historic character of the designed landscape in the immediate vicinity of the principal buildings. Management of the wider parkland for agriculture, principally dairy farming, is further diminishing the character of the landscape. The park is within both Blackburn with Darwen and South Ribble Local Authorities.
