Panoramic view from the side of Pendle Hill looking northwards (pan to the right)

‘& ye Lorde lett mee see a toppe of ye hill In what places hee had a great people’. From the road to Downham: interim image until we get to the top of Pendle Hill. The view extends from the Forest of Bowland to the left, across the Ribble Valley, round to the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. The characteristic shapes of the tops of the hills have been cut off by the cloud-base. The flat top to the extreme right is Pen-y-ghent. Ingleborough, rather more to the left, is decapitated. This was taken on a wild July day. We suspect visibility would have been better earlier in the spring.
