The Rossendale Tour Buzz is launched today
A bus tour has been launched today, July 22nd, in Rossendale where visitors will have the chance to take a whistle-stop tour of the best attractions in this area of Lancashire onboard a vintage red bus.
Passengers will have the freedom to hop on and off at their leisure to spend time in the towns which takes their fancy as they take a ride through the beautiful Rossendale district.
Named the Rossendale Tour Buzz, the scheme will run for the six weeks throughout the summer holidays. Each passenger will be presented with a map of the journey which they are taking, with all of the notable attractions clearly marked. As an added bonus, the passengers will receive a booklet of vouchers worth up to £15 which can be used at selected attractions along the route.
Two routs are being planned for the tour with passengers riding the vintage bus on Thursdays being treated to a trip of the East of the area with stops scheduled at Rawtenstall, The Boo at Waterfoot, Lee Quarry, Lamberts Mill Shop the Russian Tea Room in Bacup and Whitworth’s Fudge Village.
On Sunday the bus will depart from Rawthenstall again, and then venture onto Weavers Cottage, Lamberts Mill Shop, Rossendale Museum, Helmshore to visit the farmers’ market on the first Sunday of the month, Musbury Fabrics Mill Shop, Winfield’s, and Haslingden.
The tourist bus tour also provides great value for money with an adult ticket costing £2, and a child under 16 can ride for just £1, family tickets are also available at £5 each.
