Colne

 

A typical Pendle town, which was the heart of the Lancashire cotton industry, easily accessed as the M65 terminates at Colne.

 

Pendle

 

The area of Lancashire known as Pendle is at the eastern edge of the county, bordering on the Yorkshire Dales and the Ribble Valley and close to the Forest of Bowland. Pendle takes it's name from Pendle Hill, which at 1831ft high dominates the skyline of the area.

 

A relatively undiscovered part of the Northern hill country, Pendle is also a place of contrasts - beautiful countryside, industrial heritage, modern facilities and brooding moors.
