There can’t be many views as far-reaching as this. George Fox climbed Pendle in 1652. He saw the silver line of sea bordering Lancashire and below him a vision of a multitude of followers, which led him to found the Quaker movement. Today, the panorama is still inspiring, with the addition of Blackpool Tower.

The best ascent of this legendary hill is from the village of Barley.
