1. Pendle Hill, Lancashire

Most famous for its links to the now notorious witch trials of 1612, Pendle Hill and its surrounding towns and villages are a truly bewitching part of Lancashire. 10 alleged witches were buried beneath the hill, having been hanged at Lancaster Castle. Pendle Hill looms over this ancient hunting ground – once the home of wolves and wild boar. The landscape welcomes walkers and countryside enthusiasts, with plenty of country inns and farmhouses to provide rest and refreshment along the way.
