More about this scene
In an area of outstanding beauty and ancient and quaint villages, its hard to be noticed. But the village of Waddington has won the 'Best Kept Village in Lancashire' title on many occasions for being just that little bit more beautiful. When Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne in 1953, the village erected a Coronation Bridge and laid out Coronation Gardens, which we can see here. The name Waddington means 'the settlement of Wada' (a Saxon chief). Waddow Hall stands close to the village.
