Overlooked by the mysterious Pendle Hill, associated with stories about the Pendle Witches, and an ancient castle, Clitheroe is nearly 1,000 years old.

 But there is nothing old fashioned here. It’s quaint streets are lined with individual shops. Where else can you find a dedicated sausage shop selling over 75 varieties, an amazing wine shop and brilliant food hall etc.  Lots of places for morning coffee in its’ fast growing foodie reputation.  Then we are off for a delicious 2 course lunch followed by tea/coffee/mints at the Fence Gate Inn which has an unrivalled position in the Trough of Bowland which is an area of outstanding natural beauty.

WHEN? Wed.22nd March 2023. Dep.9.15am  Ret.4.30pm. Price £34 includes 2 course lunch followed by tea/coffee/mints. Seats will be on sale at our table on Tuesday 17th January 2023. NB.PLEASE ASK FOR CHOICE OF MEAL SLIP

Barley in January

Nine intrepid members of the Ramblers Group met on Thursday to head into Lancashire
for a circular walk to the summit of Pendle from the lovely village of Barley.
We set off in a light drizzle that fortunately stopped after a short time but, as
we climbed higher, so our visibility was reduced by a cloak of mist.
The mist kept up until we reached the summit trig point.
Just time for a few quick photos before we huddled for a welcome packed lunch
at the stone seating near the summit.
The group descended on well made footpaths and we dropped out of the mist with
excellent views opening up as we headed into Barley and the warm cafe for hot drinks and indulgent cakes!  Alan Carr

A nice ‘opener’ for the New Year. Thanks Alan.
