You will gain 504 feet (154 metres) in elevation as you explore the picturesque landscape. The trail winds through Aitken Wood, where you will discover unique sculptures and ceramic plaques hidden among the trees.

Starting your adventure from the charming village of Barley is convenient, as parking is readily available there. This easy route is suitable for various fitness levels, making it a great choice for families. Be prepared for potentially muddy sections, especially after rain, so wearing stout footwear is a good idea. The path offers a pleasant outdoor experience throughout much of the year. Consider visiting during drier months for the most comfortable walking conditions.
This trail offers a unique blend of art, history, and the natural beauty of the Forest of Bowland AONB. The approximately 25 sculptures and ten ceramic plaques you encounter are inspired by the infamous Pendle Witches and local folklore. This artistic element sets the route apart, providing a cultural layer to your outdoor activity. It's a notable way to experience the region's heritage while enjoying a refreshing walk.
