On the narrow grass verge between the road and the footpath in the village of Roughlee stands a memorial to Alice Nutter. Approaching cyclists from a distance might immediately think, "What a lovely statue." But anyone who stops to take a closer look will surely notice the woman's hands bound with a heavy iron chain, as well as the sad expression on her face. Alice Nutter was born around 1560 and, along with several other women, was convicted of witchcraft and executed in 1612.

She patiently waits here, on the narrow grassy strip between the road and the footpath in the village of Roughlee. From a distance, the slowly approaching hiker might spontaneously think, "What a lovely monument." But up close, the attentive observer will not fail to notice the hands bound with a heavy iron chain, nor the sad expression on this woman's face. Her name is Alice Nutter. She was born around 1560 and in 1612—along with several other women—was convicted of witchcraft and executed.

Walkers are faced with two choices to climb the hill, either the shorter but steeper steps or a longer but not so steep switchback path.

amazing place ! good fitness

If it's wet - don't use front brakes ! Very slippery

After forrestry work the trail was upgraded in 2020

This trail is excellent for practicing technical climbing, featuring rocky sections and some tight twists and turns. Certain parts offer Black-level options for added challenge. Definitely worth a visit!

Excellent food. Not open too late though so get there early to avoid disappointment
