The area around north east Lancashire is often known as Pendle, taking its name from the dominating geographical feature of Pendle Hill. Lying on the boundary between the industrial coal mining and cotton weaving towns to the south and the rich fertile valleys of the Forest of Bowland to the north, Pendle hill rises to 1831 feet above sea level.
Although forever linked with the Pendle witches, this hill is also famous for its Quaker and Methodist links. It was George Fox’s vision on Pendle Hill in1652 that led to the foundation of the Quakers. There is still an old Quaker meeting house in the nearby town of Nelson.
