Nature lovers are being urged to go and enjoy the surroundings of one of the most beautiful sites in the borough on Sunday.

Parkers Lodges at 28 Lodge Side in Elton Vale (BL8 2SW) will be welcoming visitors to the property, which offers stunning views, in an open garden event.

Described as like a nature reserve, the owners are opening the site as part of the National Garden Scheme (NGS), which raises money for charity.

A description from the NGS states: "Parkers Lodges is set on the site of a demolished Victorian Mill that was used for bleaching.

"Since the houses were completed in 2014 a small group of volunteers have been working to transform what was a jungle into a manicured wild space that still allows the local wildlife to flourish.

"Set in 12 acres with two lakes with 50 percent of them open for a leisurely stroll round."
