Pendle Way trail reviews

Fantastic trail with a mix of farmland, bridleway and hill walking. Walked clockwise from Barley, so for most of the second and third days we were visibly progressing toward the ever-present Pendle Hill. The hill itself is popular but a glorious way to end this walk. Navigation was easy and terrain was pleasant the whole way round. Only two things to note: Firstly, the United Utilities land at Coldwell could be better signposted (no clear path down the sheer hill, but soon becomes evident once in the valley). Secondly, there's one truly grisly section as you head into the farm off Southfield Lane - about 5 minutes of overgrown, muddy and thistle-laden path between two close walls, then no evident direction of travel when you emerge. Given that this is a 45-mile trail, two navigational confusions and one horrible stretch of path are nothing. We did it over three days in decent springtime weather and it was a complete delight.
