I’m glad you found it helpful. It was early June when I filmed it, and as you can probably tell from the lack of people, reasonably early morning. My favourite time for the walk is end of April/start of May when the wild garlic is still out in the woods and the bluebells are in full bloom before you reach Janet’s Foss. I have a couple of bird books and one came with a cd…but I still don’t improve recognition wise!

Thanks - I’m glad you found it helpful! It will look beautiful around there tomorrow after the forecast snow…

Thanks - I’m glad you enjoyed it…

Thanks for the very kind words - I think that’s probably the most positive comment I’ve had 👍 No need to worry though…I won’t be heading in front of the camera anytime soon…I’m sure people would much rather see the landscape than me 😂

It is…it has to be some of the best scenery in Yorkshire…if not the UK 😊

I’m glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully it brought back happy memories. Most people walk Pendle Hill from the Barley side, which has two pubs, so guessing your walk might have been from that side. Thank you for the kind comments…

Thanks - glad you enjoyed. Actually caught it on a sunny, clear day for once - most of my Pendle walks this year have been wet ones!

Thanks - glad you found it useful. Most people do walk pendle from the Barley side, but the Downham side just gives a slightly different perspective.

I'm glad you enjoyed it...hopefully the weather was kind for you and you got some decent views on your way around.

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it. I’ve recently filmed the ways up Pendle Hill from the Sabden side from the Nick of Pendle, and the way up from Downham, so I’ll be adding those over the next few weeks…

I’m glad you enjoyed and hope you find them useful. It’s not too desolate really…but both ways are quite a bit quieter than walking straight up the steps route from Barley…I’ve just filmed the final 2 ways up Pendle Hill from Downham and from the Nick of Pendle, so hopefully will be adding those over the next few weeks.

@@walks4all that's great; looking forward them

Thanks…it is a very picturesque walk this one, especially on days when the water is still and you get the reflections of the surrounding hills. Being next to the water in the main, dogs can get plenty of swims! The weather can be a little less predictable, but these days I generally walk more in the Lakes in winter as it is just getting busier and busier during the holiday season. It’s also much easier to park midweek…

Glad you enjoyed it. The steps route is the most walked route up Pendle Hill and if the weather has been particularly wet, it is the driest way up…

​@@walks4all Hi, its interesting that you should say that about this being the most walked route up Pendle Hill. I have been trying to remember which route we walked on a Halloween coach trip from St Annes College of Further Education as students in about 1973. There were hundreds of other people like us walking up the hill on the hallowen evening, all I remember was a line of torch lights ahead and behind us as we snaked up the route, never saw any of it in daylight but it was a great atmosphere. I did your up Ogden Clough, down Boar Clough route yesterday 3rd October, caught some great weather for it , (thanks again for the great video on that) and it definitely wasn't that route, so I am almost certain it was this shorter route in this video we must have done then which I am going to check out again later this month. Take care and happy travels.

Apologies, I missed your reply. It probably was the steps route. They used to hold walks from barley on Halloween and also witch/treasure hunts, although I think some of these may have been from the Sabden side. Hopefully, if you walk the steps way up, you’ll remember whether it was that way you walked back then. I have filmed recently the way up from the sabden side from the Nick of Pendle, so I should be adding that in a few weeks to UA-cam as well.

Thanks and glad you enjoyed it. I think the OS fly through is a great tool for getting perspective on the walk/area before you walk it. I use it quite a lot before I do my walks - easier to picture when you walking somewhere like the Lake District what other hills are nearby and how easily (or not!) you can incorporate them in your walks. I’ve a few friends who walk with dogs and they suggested at that start that it would be good for them to see whether their dog could get around the walks, which is why i film all the gates and stiles. I didn’t think about it at the time, but also had a few emails from people with prams and in wheelchairs who have attempted parts of routes they wouldn’t normally have set off on…so hopefully it useful for all! I walked over pendle this morning - after the recent heavy rains it was boggy in places but I was on a not very well used path - hopefully it’ll have dried up a little for when you visit!

Thank you for a well said reply, great points. Looking forward to going within a few days.

I am planning to do them. I had planned to video all the national 3 peaks this summer but the weather has been dismal in the main. Even when sunny the visibility hasn’t been great. If I don’t manage to video them over the winter, then I will get them done next Spring. For each mountain, I do plan to show a few ways up each of them…

@@walks4all that's great; really looking forward to them.

Thanks - glad u enjoyed and hope you found it helpful…

I think it’s actually an amazing 2 hours 46 mins!! I’ve been and watched the race a few times as I’ve known people running - annual 3 Peaks race always held last Saturday in April. There’s not many get under 3 hours but a reasonable number between 3 and 3.5 hours. These are the elite fell runners and often include internationals. There are quite a few hundred run it each year…

Glad you enjoyed - hope you find the tips useful…

​@walks4all was very useful. I did the 3 peaks challenge for charity. I enjoyed it alot but my legs were all aching the next day 😅

It is a long way and I think legs always ache the day after…makes it all worthwhile though when you do it for charity 👍

Ya. Was worth it. Fresh air beautiful scenery and I feel loads better now

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it 👍 I must admit, when I get home and watch the video I’ve taken, I often notice things I’d missed when I was out in the walk!

Should be a good walk for starting out. Reasonably short and mainly flat, just 2 short climbs. Could be a little busy in Barley tomorrow being a back holiday…

Couldn’t agree more…you can’t get much more stunning scenery anywhere in the UK. Walks create wonderful memories…

Thanks and glad you enjoyed it. I fully agree, it’s stunning around there…and most of Yorkshire come to that!

Thanks - glad you enjoyed 👍 15’s a lot…but I’m sure there’ll be one more in you! I’ve done quite a lot now, but they just get a little slower each time…

Maybe…plenty of ‘pots’ around there, so should be a decent supply!

Glad you enjoyed…hopefully the weather was ok for you as well.

Thanks - glad you liked it, and hope you enjoy the walk

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it! Even though it is a little longer, I do find this the best way to walk up Ingleborough rather than walking from Ingleton, or the shorter route up from the Old Hill Inn at Chapel-le-Dale. I hope you enjoy when you do it...

@@walks4all hoping to achieve this next week

Hopefully the weather picks up a bit for then 🌞

@@walks4all completed 👍🏽 thank you for all the info, it really helped. Steps were tough on the legs, but most definitely worth it!!

Glad you enjoyed it 👍 Those steps are a bit of a pull, but as you say, always worth it when you get to the top!

I'm glad you found the video useful and enjoyed the walk. Thanks for subscribing! I walked down that side as well a couple of days ago and would have to admit it is starting to get a little overgrown - the upside was 2 deer's were in the stream just past the bridge. United utilities, whose land it is do normally cut it back, but with the new bit of fencing, making the path a little narrower in places it does feel overgrown. I probably should have said July-November, until it starts to die away to maybe avoid that path and just follow the road, as the path can get overgrown. They are doing some work currently on the Upper reservoir, so hopefully when they are done there, they might cut back a bit along the path.

@@walks4all thanks for the reply, yeah I prob stick to the left side of wall instead of right side. I'm looking forward to trying all the varying walks from Barley

Glad you enjoyed the video. I do find Whernside the easiest as well to walk out of the 3 Peaks....following the way shown, there are no steep stepped climbs as there are with the other two - for some reason I always feel as though I've not done as much climbing when I reach the top, and I do find the views from the top better than the other two.

Unfortunately I don’t think it is, as I believe united utilities own aitken wood - so in theory you’d need their permission. I have seen a few people camp on the top of Pendle Hill itself from time to time, including one yesterday who was still in bed and snoring when I past about 6.30! Again not sure on legalities of it, but maybe one for Halloween 🎃 🧙

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it! The weather looks sunny with good visibility today, so should be a great day for the walk - enjoy…

Good choice…and the weather looks as though it’s improving for the weekend 🌞

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully this current sunny weather reappears in August! Yes, cathedral caves are very near to Slater Bridge - I was going to include them on this walk, but there were a couple of school parties there when I passed and I try not to get children on the videos. About 2-300 metres before you reach slater’s bridge, the caves are on your left and well worth a visit. If u look on an OS map, not often named but just says quarries(disused).

@@walks4all Thanks very much. Fingers crossed for an improvement with the weather.

Here’s hoping we get a summer at some point!

Unfortunately that seems to be the weather we’ve been getting all year, but hopefully we might get some summer soon! It is worth doing again to get the views…

Thank you kindly - glad you enjoyed it 👍

Glad you found the video useful and actually got one of the rare sunny days…there’s not been many of those of late! I’ve not been when they’ve been doing tea and cakes, but if I can find out whether it’s a regular thing I can add it to the walk on the website…

Thank you 🙏 Glad you enjoyed the format - hopefully this constant rain stops and you get some sunny weather in Grange.

It depends upon your fitness level and walking speed, but anything from about 1 hour 20 mins to 2 hours 15 mins.

Looks like an amazing walk. Thanks for your reply

You’re welcome…

Congratulations on completing the walk - hopefully the weather was ok for once! I’m glad you found the video useful - breaking walks down into distinct sections is also always good for planning…it is a long one!

I’m glad you found it useful - and could sit through it all! Hope the 3 peaks walk went well last weekend and you got some decent weather in which to do it…

I’m glad you enjoyed it 👍 Hopefully you find it helpful if you do the walk…

Thanks for the comments and glad you enjoyed the video 👍 We do still have quite a lot of places where we can freely roam and all the national parks do a great job of looking after the footpaths…and councils too (well…sometimes!)

Glad you found the video useful. The steps are quite a bit steeper than the gravel path…but you can stop and have a rest on both routes to enjoy the views! I find the view better going up the steps, so generally do it that way round as my knees much prefer the gravel down instead of the steps down, but you could do gravel both ways, which TBH is probably the easier route.

@@walks4all Thanks 🙂

Hi, sorry for the late reply. There is a pay and display car park next to the start by the Buttermere Court hotel - the postcode for that one is CA13 9UZ. That is not the Gatesgarth one though. The Gatesgarth car park is just over half way round the walk at the far end of the lake. The postcode for that one is CA13 9XA. Hope that helps...

Thanks a million . U made me stress free . ❤ stay blessed 👍

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍Hopefully you got your car out ok - I didn't realise it closed at 10. I'll add something to the walk text on the website to let people know. It looked a good day for the walk yesterday - dry for once!

​@@walks4allthe car park closes at 9pm however we got out ok, had to open the gates and close them behind us as we left, and yes it was a dry day an excellent walk enjoyed by the family, thank you once again !!! Barley Car Park Opening Times: October - March 8am - 6pm April - September 8am - 9pm No overnight parking or camping

Thanks 😊 It’s 4.5km, just under 3 miles, and takes about 1 hr 15 mins…
