[Shayne14]

Picturesque Pendle and its surrounding villages of Barley, Roughlee, Newchurch, Fence, Blacko and Barrowford all form a network of interesting places to visit with plenty of walking, pubs and history to take in along the way.

Come and visit - We have it all for a relaxing break, outdoor leisure activities and places of historical interest.

Hi @Shayne14,

Thank you for sharing The Historical Lancashire, England.

Interesting! It's definitely a great ideal to visit Pendle Hill! 

Pendle Hill rises majestically above an ancient hunting ground, once the home of wolves and wild boar, a wild and mysterious place.

It's that true?  we can still find  Pendle Witch in the petty village?or we must walk up to the hill ?

The story said  the Pendle hill witch’snever died.

I would like to plan to Swansea visit friends and we can stop by to Pendle Hill and discover the mysterious.

The trials of the Pendle witches in 1612 are among the most famous witch trials in English history, and some of the best recorded of the 17th century.

@Mary996, would you join me to the Pendle Hill?

Ride on your beautiful horses and discover the mystery witch village.

Adventure and Exotics travel trials! 

Exciting.

Love this! My father is from Lancashire. I’m going to bookmark this in hopes that we can travel overseas again soon. As an aside, I raise a breed of dog native to the area called Lancashire Heelers. My kennel name is Hang Town in reference to the witch trials history.
Here is a Lancashire Heeler.

Here's an account of Pendle in an archive from 1887

There should be stories also in British National Newspaper archives that may be of interest.

One can learn much about the people who lived in those locations and their contributions to society.

Fairies - Poem and reference to a family engagement in CrowTrees - perhaps CrowTrees was named because there were/ are Crows living in the Trees?
