Overview

This is a circular walk through the scenic Pendle countryside to the iconic Pendle Hill where, on a clear day, walkers are rewarded with magnificent 360 degree views.  There are two steep ascents on this walk and several stiles, as such a good level of fitness is required.

The walk will include a visit to the last remaining Clarion House built in 1912 by the early pioneers of Socialism.

Toilets are available en route.
