Some of this year’s highlights Just forty years after the world famous Pendle Witches Trial, visionary George Fox climbed Pendle Hill in 1652, which inspired him to found the Quaker Movement. You too can follow his journey of revelation on the special Pendle Quaker Trail on the second Saturday of the festival. An inspired Mathematician, Jonas Moore, founder of (Greenwich Mean) Time, who was born here in Pendle, features on another walk. Inspirational countryside can also be seen around the only remaining Clarion House in Britain, which features on three walks. The house is just below the picturesque village of Newchurch, under Pendle Hill. If you’d like a challenge we have the newest long distance walk in the country, the Lancashire Witches Walk and a Pendle Three Peaks Challenge in one day! The latter takes in the wild moorland of Boulsworth Hill, Weets with views of Ingleborough, and the classic climb up the legendary Pendle hill. Complete the challenge and we’ll reward your efforts with our now famous Certificates of Achievement!
