Walking Festival Coming Soon!

The Pendle Walking Festival is coming to Pendle soon. The festival starts on Saturday 3rd September and ends on Sunday the 11th. Pendle's award-winning event is now regarded as the biggest free walking festival in the country. There will be free guided walks every day to suit walkers of all abilities, ranging from easy canalside walks of a couple of miles to fantastic challenge walks like the Pendle Way.

There are many walks which take in the area's fascinating past, including the Pendle Witches Trail, and Beating the Bounds walks, around Barnoldswick and Foulridge's ancient boundaries. The Old tradition has it that the heads of boys were bounced on the boundary stones once, so that they would remember where the boundaries were but these days the walks are great for families!!  There are also a number of pub walks and many walks with nice lunch spots.There are so many great walks, why not come and join us!

Full details of all the walks are in our free festival programme. You can download a copy of the programme here.
