For those of you that live in the area you will instantly recognise this as Pendle Hill. I first walked to the top when I was 7 along with my Grandad Ross. Famous as a local landmark but also infamous for the Witch Trials that carry the same name.
The Pendle Witch Trial of 1612
When I was a child and misbehaved, the threat of being carried off by a Pendle Witch whilst I slept at night was enough to keep me quiet.
