Barnoldswick Historic Mill Town

Highlight • Historical Site

Barnoldswick is a historic mill town with characterful cobbled streets and plenty of independent shops and cafes. The views from the town into the Yorkshire Dales are exceptional, with both Ingleborough and Malham Cove visible on clear days. There are plenty of places to eat and Alma Cliffe B&B is a good accommodation option for those walking the Pendle Way long-distance trail.

Weets Hill Summit & Trig Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

June 28, 2025,Occupation Road – Weets Hill-Big Head loop from Barnoldswick ☺️

It's been a while since we've been out for a hike for various reasons, but we were glad to be back out in the great outdoors again. This route has some excellent views along the route, in particular, when you reach Weet Hill Trig Point.
