PENDLE HILL FROM DOWNHAM WALK SUMMARY
This Pendle Hill from Downham walk starts in the car park at Downham, a village in the Ribble Valley in Lancashire. We leave Downham and head through fields alongside Longlands Wood, which affords views across to Pendle Hill, before arriving at Worsaw Hill. Much of the 1961 film Whistle Down the Wind was shot at Worsaw End Farm.

After climbing alongside Burst Clough, we climb Worston Moor, which affords excellent views across the Ribble Valley and the Yorkshire Three Peaks. On a clear day, even Blackpool Tower is visible from here. We continue past the Scout Cairn and then on and past the weather shelter.
We then head along a wide grassy path and then up a gravelled path to reach the Trig point on the summit of Pendle Hill.

Pendle is an isolated hill with fantastic panoramic views towards Blackpool out in the West, the lower Lakeland Fells, and the Yorkshire Three Peaks. It is synonymous with George Fox and the Pendle Witches.

From the summit, we return to the wall, and once through it, we head away from it and downhill towards Downham. The path swings to the left before a short zig-zag and then in a line towards Hookcliffe plantation below. We pass by the trees and cross over Pendle Road to head down alongside the fields. We briefly cross over a road near Clay House and then continue again down the side of the fields before reaching Downham.

Upon reaching the old bridge in Downham Village, we turn left past the ice cream shop and right back into the car park. Check out the video for where to eat and drink after the walk, including the Assheton Arms, Greendale Tearoom and the Downham Ice Cream Shop.
