The amazing transformation of Burnley's Crow Wood Leisure from dairy farm to iconic spa complex

Exciting plans to further transform Burley's award-winning Crow Wood Hotel and Spa Resort are the latest chapter in an amazing 20 year history of the site.

As revealed by the Burnley Express last week, plans have been submitted that would see a £12.6m. scheme to add further facilities to the award-winning Woodland Spa.

Owner Andrew Brown reflected on that 20 year journey in an exclusive interview with the Express in December.
