Help connect Barley

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Barley’s Slow Ways.

I reckoned I'd walked all the paths on the hill 45 years ago, before moving away from the area. I'm not knocking off any stars for the miserable weather, so the full five stars are because this is pretty much the best way to walk from Chatburn to Barley, given that the biggest hill in the area is slap-bang in the middle. How did I miss the path climbing Pendle Hill all those years ago? There are actually two paths, and they provide the essential access onto the hill between the farm at Hookcliffe and the summit....
