Barley is an attractive village with two quality pubs. There's also a fairly large car park (pay and display but reasonable) as you enter the village from the south. Barley is a good starting point for hiking in the Pendle Hill area.

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.

March 30, 2025,A windy Pendle Hill Loop from Barley ☺️

We've been up Pendle Hill a few times, but I've never done this route before. I enjoyed this route as the ascent wasn't as tough as going up the steps (which we came back down). As we reached the top, it was extremely windy! Impressive views as always 😀
