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.

Steep climb up stone stairs from Barley. Can be a bit of a motorway from the Barley side, if you want a quieter walk, why not try from Downham.

Ogden Reservoirs

Highlight • Structure

Water runs off the great whaleback of Pendle Hill, cascading down Ogden Clough and Boar Clough to reach the Ogden Reservoirs. Built to supply drinking water to nearby Nelson, the trails around the reservoirs are a delight and are often explored by those on the way up Pendle Hill. There are three plantations here too, including Fell Wood, with its spruces, pines and larches.
