The 8 Most Amazing Peaks around Downham

Also on a very clear day you can see Blackpool Tower to the west, approx 40 miles away.

Weets Hill rises to 1,302 feet (397 m) above Barnoldswick and features on the Pendle Way, a 45-mile (72 km) loop of the region. It's the second highest point on the walk, behind the eponymous Pendle Hill. Views from the summit are extensive on a clear day, with the Aire Valley, the Ribble Valley and the distant Yorkshire Dales all visible. The famous Yorkshire Three Peaks are arrayed with Inglebrough on the left, Whernside in the middle and Pen-y-ghent on the right. There's also a bench near the trig point, so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the panorama.

Pendle Hill looms over East Lancashire between the towns of Clitheroe and Nelson.  With its distinctive humpback shape, visible for miles around from all directions, it is a local landmark, rising from an area of green beauty.  The district is dotted with tiny hamlets and farms, divided by ancient drystone walls and full of folklore and stories – not least the famous tale of the Pendle Witches.  Geographically, Pendle Hill is part of the Pennine Chain of hills that run north-south through the northern half of England.  It is included in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, though Pendle is a discrete hill, separated from the main upland area of Bowland by the Ribble Valley.
