Barrowford 2.7 miles. Situated in the village of Barley at the foot of Pendle Hill, within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Lea View is the perfect base for exploring the Pendle area. The cottage retains all of its charm and character, whilst providing the comforts of a home from home. On arrival at the cottage, park your car along the road and step directly into a well-equipped kitchen. From here, head to the living/dining room to relax in front of the TV and light the cosy multi-fuel stove. As the evening draws to a close, choose from two well-presented bedrooms, a double and a single. In the morning, enjoy a refreshing shower or a hot soak in the bathroom which houses a bath with a shower over and a toasty heated towel rail. Savour your morning coffee out on the patio, a delightful space to get some fresh air, before setting off and exploring the area. Barley is within the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there are two excellent country pubs within walking distance of the property, The Barley Mow, where guests can receive 10% off food, and the Pendle Inn, so you can enjoy a night away from the kitchen. There is also a lovely café, picnic site, a playground and Methodist church within walking distance. The Pendle area is steeped in history - The Lancashire witches came from here, and were taken for trial at Lancaster Castle; you can visit the castle and see the cells they were kept in and the original courtroom.
