Alice Nutter Statue

Highlight • Monument

To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the infamous witches trials, one of the best known – Alice Nutter – was immortalised as a statue in Roughlee village from where she came.

Alice was unusual amongst the accused in that she was comparatively wealthy, the widow of a tenant yeoman farmer. She made no statement either before or during her trial, except to enter her plea of not guilty to the charge of murder. She was hanged, along with nine others, at Lancaster in August 1612.

Barley (village)

Highlight • Parking

Barley is an attractive village with two quality pubs. There's also a fairly large car park (pay and display but reasonable) as you enter the village from the south. Barley is a good starting point for hiking in the Pendle Hill area.
