Tips from the community

The story of the Pendle witches are to England what the Salem witch trials are to the US. They occurred in 1612 after twelve residents of Pendle Hill were accused of murdering ten people using witchcraft. Since then, the hill has been a place of excitement. TV shows have visited the area and every Hallowe’en, young people climb the hill in what has become a local tradition. You too can wander this historic hill to your heart’s content, and when you’re done, you can shop the Witches Galore gift shop, grab a coffee at the Clarion House Cafe, and stay the night at The Rookery.
