Some steep uphill ascent - 557metres/1,827 feet. 8 miles walk. Circular.

Spooky Sunday Shenannigans !! Come and explore the Lancashire countryside and enjoy lunch on Pendle Hill.

Join Andy and the Outdoor Lads for a relaxed hike up Pendle Hill and through Fell wood.

Starting at Barley, we will walk through the village, along the Witches Way and go to the 'big end' of Pendle Hill at the top. We will have lunch at the top of Pendle Hill and admire the surrounding views and 360 panoramas. We will then walk down to the Ogden Reservoirs and up through Fell Wood before making our way back to the start point.

Please note this will be a leisurely 'group' walk - not a race up the hill and through the woods. We will be taking our time and may even stop for a little coffee half way up to admire the views and take some photo's. It is a Sunday, after all.

Plenty of opportunity for refreshments and homemade food after the walk in one of the 4 large public houses in the village.

This is a dog friendly walk so please bring your pooches along.

A decent pair of walking shoes should suffice, but if it is a bit muddy underfoot, then it may be wise to bring some boots. 

 

Pendle Hill

Most famous for its links to the now notorious witch trials of 1612, Pendle Hill and its surrounding towns and villages are a truly bewitching area of Lancashire.

History and legend has woven a spell over Pendle. Pendle Hill rises above this ancient hunting ground, once the home of wolves and wild boar and to this day dotted with tiny hamlets and farms. It is still an untamed place, full of mystery and infamous as the home of the Pendle Witches who were tried and executed for witchcraft in 1612.

The landscape, carved out by man and by nature, welcomes walkers and countryside enthusiasts. Long distance walks, such as the 43-mile Pendle Way and parts of the Bronte Way, combine history with stunning scenery, with plenty of country inns and farmhouses to provide most congenial rest and refreshment along the way.
