Experience the breath-taking beauty of the atmospheric Lancashire hills as you take a journey to discover one of the most fascinating stories in the region’s folklore.
Uncover the truth behind the story of the notorious Pendle Witches, who were executed in 1612 after being found guilty of murdering 10 people by witchcraft and judge for yourself whether they were guilty or not!
At the time the evidence given against the witches came from one young child and was based little more than accusations made by competing families, the Demdikes and Chattoxes who were trying to make a living through healing and begging.
Yet they were sentenced to hanging because King James I lived in fear of a religious rebellion following the failed Gunpowder Plot, and passed an Act which imposed the death penalty for anyone found practising witchcraft.
This intriguing coach trip will allow you to retrace the accused witches on a guided tour of the Ribble Valley villages that will bring this haunting story back to life.
