Walking In Pendle

This website (which is still under construction) has been designed to show just some of the beautiful area we live in.  There are some examples of the “Beating The Bounds” walks round the Parishes of Pendle. Photos taken on the Pendle Walking Festivals plus others of some of the beautiful and historical features of the Borough.

The notes and comments with the historical photos are necessarily short (but, I hope, accurate) and you can easily do further research on most of them on the web.

Please don't hesitate to suggest any improvements and - particularly - to point out any inaccuracies you may find - nearly every time I do a walk there's always some minor change somewhere.

I hope that the site will encourage you to try out some of the walks yourself – and to join us on the Pendle Walking Festival normally held on the first weekend in September.  Such has been the success of previous Festivals in 2008 it will be extended to last for nine days - from Saturday August 30th to Sunday September 7th.

In June there is a Bowland Festival which will include a witches walk and I'll be leading a couple of trips up Pendle - all from Barley. In September there'll be another South Pennines Festival and, again, I'll be leading a couple of walks.

You may not think that anybody "escapes" to the Costa Del Sol so that they can go walking but they do - and there's some world class walking there. So if you're off for a break there why not find out more from my website HERE, and for some pictures go HERE.
