There is pretty much no web content available regarding this ancient hunting ground, Pendle web content generally falls into one of a few bands:
- The Pendle Witches.
- Pendle Hill.
- Nick Of Pendle.
And that’s it! From what I can glean the ancient Forest of Pendle – and by “forest” we can forget trees and think more of an huge estate, spread over the following towns and villages:
- Clitheroe
- Barley
- Downham
- Roughlee
- Newchurch
- Sabden
- Higham
- Fence
- Barnoldswick
- Barrowford
- Blacko
- Bracewell
- Brierfield
- Colne
- Cottontree
- Earby
- Foulridge
- Kelbrook
- Nelson
- Reedley
- Salterforth
- Sough
- Trawden
- West Craven
- Winewall
- Wycoller
Being someone that on average visits Pendle five times per year I am shocked to see the size of it. I wish I had a map and hopefully one day will. Some of the villages I have never heard of before, others like Barley and Newchurch are like old friends and both totally charming beyond my ability to express.
