Low Torver Park

Torver Goods Yard The old railway goods yard at Torver is now used by a local builder for storage. The stone built goods shed contained a loading platform upon which was mounted a 1 ton hand operated crane manufactured by R. Kitchen ironfounders in Warrington. The crane has subsequently been relocated to the rear of The Wilson’s Arms. The goods shed was used as a hay barn after the railway closed but lost its roof in a fire and stood derelict for a number of years before being repaired, altered and re-roofed and brought back into use.

Low Torver Park is a picturesque region located in the county of Lancashire, England. Situated amidst the stunning Cumbrian countryside, the park offers visitors a unique blend of downs and moorland landscapes. Spanning over a vast area, Low Torver Park is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The park is renowned for its rolling downs, characterized by gently sloping hills covered in lush green grasses. These downs provide a perfect backdrop for leisurely walks and picnics, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of the surrounding nature. The open expanses of the downs also make it an ideal spot for outdoor activities such as kite flying and frisbee.

In addition to the downs, Low Torver Park is also home to sprawling moorlands. These moors are covered in heather, creating a vibrant purple carpet that stretches as far as the eye can see. The moorlands are rich in wildlife, attracting birdwatchers and nature photographers who come to observe species like curlews, lapwings, and red grouse in their natural habitat.

The park offers numerous walking trails, catering to both novice and experienced hikers. These trails wind through the downs and moorlands, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can also explore nearby attractions, including the picturesque Coniston Water, which offers opportunities for boating and fishing.

With its stunning downs, vibrant moorlands, and a variety of outdoor activities, Low Torver Park is a haven for those seeking a peaceful retreat amidst the beauty of Lancashire's natural landscapes.
