Walk Summary
This Pendle Witches Walk from Barley in the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire consists of an Eastern and Western loop, which takes approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes in total, or you could just walk one of the loops in about half that time. On the way around the walk, we run through the story of the Pendle witches, pointing out related places along the way.
For the Western loop of this Pendle Witches Walk, start in the car park in Barley, before climbing towards Newchurch in Pendle, which affords great views of Lower Ogden Reservoir and Pendle Hill along the way.
In Newchurch in Pendle we visit the Witches Galore shop where you can pick up your spooky souvenirs and then head down the road to St Mary's Church, where you can see the 'Eye of God' built into the church tower and the so-called 'Witches Grave' with a skull and crossbones inscription on it.
From Newchurch in Pendle, we head past Faughs' quarry before climbing Driver Height, which gives us wonderful panoramic views of the Ogden Valley, Pendle Hill and out as far as the Yorkshire Three Peaks. We then return to Barley passing by the picturesque Upper and Lower Ogden reservoirs.
For the Eastern loop of the Pendle Witches Walk, again start in the car park in Barley and head alongside Pendle Water before leaving it to head through the wood by White Hough outdoor centre. The road towards Hollin Top is followed that again affords wonderful views down over Roughlee and beyond and then we drop down the Pendle Way into Roughlee, before passing by Roughlee Old Hall, the Bay Horse, the Alice Nutter witches statue and Roughlee's waterfall.
From there it's back along Pendle Water and then the walled Heys Lane with its views of Pendle Hill back into Barley. Try this Pendle Witches walk around Halloween, when you might see additional witches and ghouls along the way!

WALKING BOOTS Unless very wet or winter walking, my preference is boots/shoes without ankle support - that's not for everyone though. Having used fell running shoes for many years, I prefer the lightweight feel.
