Burnley is a market town in Lancashire, England, with a population of 73,021. It is 21 miles (34 km) north of Manchester and 20 miles (32 km) east of Preston, at the confluence of the River Calder and River Brun.
The town is partially surrounded by countryside to the south and east, with the smaller towns of Padiham and Nelson to the west and north respectively. It has a reputation as a regional centre of excellence for the manufacturing and aerospace industries.
Burnley has retained a strong manufacturing sector, and has strong economic links with the cities of Manchester and Leeds, as well as neighbouring towns along the M65 corridor. In 2013, in recognition of its success, Burnley received an Enterprising Britain award from the UK Government, for being the "Most Enterprising Area in the UK".
For the first time in more than fifty years, a direct train service now operates between the town's Manchester Road railway station and Manchester's Victoria station, via the newly restored Todmorden Curve, which opened in May 2015. Burnley is served by Junctions 9, 10 and 11 of the M65 motorway, which runs west to Accrington, Blackburn and Preston (where it connects to the M6), and northeast to Nelson and Colne. The A56 dual carriageway skirts the western edge of the town, linking to the M66 motorway heading towards Manchester and the M62. Burnley has a number of well-established business parks and industrial estates such as; Burnley Bridge Business Park, Network 65 Business Park, Shuttleworth Mead Business Park, Empire Business Park, Rossendale Road Industrial Estate, AMS Technology Park, Heasandford Industrial Estate, Healeywood Industrial Estate, Elm Street Business Park and Burnham Gate Trading Estate.
