    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.

      Steep climb up stone stairs from Barley. Can be a bit of a motorway from the Barley side, if you want a quieter walk, why not try from Downham.

        Pendle Hill, LancashirePendle Hill looms over East Lancashire between the towns of Clitheroe and Nelson. With its distinctive humpback shape, visible for miles around from all directions, it is a local landmark, rising from an area of green beauty. The district is dotted with tiny hamlets and farms, divided by ancient drystone walls and full of folklore and stories – not least the famous tale of the Pendle Witches. Geographically, Pendle Hill is part of the Pennine Chain of hills that run north-south through the northern half of England. It is included in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, though Pendle is a discrete hill, separated from the main upland area of Bowland by the Ribble Valley.
