New Ways to Discover Pendle Hill Discover Pendle Hill’s rich heritage of radical thinkers, change makers and nonconformists. Who will you be inspired by?
A
brilliant project creating opportunities for local people and revealing extraordinary stories of radical thinkers. But who do we mean by the Pendle Radicals? They include George Fox, founder of the Quakers, Sir Jonas Moore, known as the ‘father of time’, Selina Cooper, a heroine of the suffrage movement and the extraordinary Ethel Carnie Holdsworth, mill worker turned prolific writer and activist. The stories are many, which you will begin to see as you explore the Pendle Hill landscape.
The trail is web based and the various points and people included can be located via distinctive plaques at each site. For younger explorers, test your clue solving skills and participate in a selfguided adventure with our family treasure trails. Based around the villages of Sabden and Barrowford they’re the perfect way to explore the Pendle Hill landscape. Pupils from local primary schools around Pendle Hill have helped to create the Treasure Trails, which are self-guided, quiz based walks. Look out for further treasure trails being developed this summer.
Where to get the Trails Treasure Trails are available to buy in local outlets for just £2.50 – see the website for details pendlehillproject.com/treasure-trails Pendle Radicals Trail available Spring 2020 www.radicalstrail.org.uk The trails form part of the work of the Pendle Hill Landscape Partnership Scheme - an ambitious four year programme of activity based around the heritage and landscape of Pendle Hill, led by the Forest of Bowland AONB and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
