Sightseeing

Drive to Barley village where you can park in the car park for £1 and then walk to the base of Pendle Hill. If you prefer to just do the hill trek (like we did) you can park on the road for free near the base of the hill, just keep driving once you get to Barley and you will see the base area on the road to park. Good walking shoes are required at the trek is very rocky. Views from the top are amazing on a good day - fully appreciated with binoculars. You can see as far as Blackpool tower on a clear day. 25 minute drive away from our home.
