10. Beast from the East 2018
Take a stroll along the front at Lytham, accompanied by bracing sea breezes and views of the Ribble Estuary. The walk can be taken on the promenade or down on the sand, but watch out for the tide. And don’t forget to explore the town center, with its independent shops and cafes offering warm treats to fend off the winter chill. | National World

12. Singing Ringing Tree, Burnley
Burnley's Panopticon, 'Singing Ringing Tree', is a unique musical sculpture which overlooks Burnley from its position high above the town on Crown Point. Constructed from pipes of galvanised steel stacked in layers, this Panopticon takes the form of a tree bending to the winds and harnesses the energy of those winds to produce a low, tuneful song. In June 2007, Singing Ringing Tree was named winner of a National Award for architectural excellence by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). 'Singing Ringing Tree' is close to the Dunnockshaw Millennium Wood, part of the Forest of Burnley reforestation programme, and links to the Pennine Bridleway and local walking routes. Many native tree and bird species are to be observed. | Contributed Photo: Submitted
