The country walk an hour from Greater Manchester in one of the most haunted places in the UK

We’re lucky in Greater Manchester that there are some incredible country walks right on our doorstep. Yet there’s one which stands out from the rest, especially at this time of year with Halloween fast approaching.

An hour’s drive from Manchester, Pendle Hill dominates the Lancashire countryside and can be seen from miles around. It’s more than just an impressive feature in the landscape though - it’s reputedly haunted.

The area is known for the Pendle witch trials in 1612, one of the most famous trials in England which saw ten people executed for witchcraft. Time Out magazine listed Pendle Hill among the ten most haunted places in the UK.
