Hiking

An outlier of the fells of the main Forest of Bowland AONB, Pendle Hill is a superb standalone peak. At 1,827 feet (532 m), it's high enough to feel big and offers excellent views north into the Forest of Bowland and in other directions over the more populated areas of Lancashire.

Pendle is intertwined with myth and legend from jumping giants to the famous Witch Trials of the early 17th century.
