Sun 30 Oct - Pendle Hill

This walk takes in the Pendle circular route passing through woodlands, alongside streams and over fields. First we ascend Spence Moor, and circle round passing over Black Hill to reach the trig point at Pendle Hill. Easy, slightly steep descent back to Barley with sweeping views of the surrounding area.

Start: 1030am Barley Green car park (cost £1), GR SD823403. Don't forget that the clocks go back on Saturday night, so you get an extra hour in bed. The car park is likely to fill up fairly quickly, so early arrival is advised. There's a cafe in the car park, so early arrival means plenty of time for a cup of tea or bacon roll before the walk. No excuses for being late!

Estimated journey time from Kendal 1h15. Take A65 to Long Preston, when road divides, turn right towards Nelson, pass through Gisburn, continue on road to outskirts of Blacko, taking very small right turn signposted Roughlee (Blacko Bar Road - this is found immediately after a right turn to Downham, blind corner). Continue along road for approx 4 miles to Barley. Car park is on your right.

Distance: 7.5 miles
