If you are interested in the history of this quite captivating place then it’s definitely worth visiting and reading more about the so-called ‘Witches of Pendle’. It was on this very road that they were taken from Clitheroe to Lancaster for the trial to face their fate in 1612. You will find a metal post on the walk near to the old Croasdale Quarry that records this.
See you there in Summer!
