Maybe because it's the hill of hills. The uber hill.

i used to live near somewhere called Greenhill, which is a much better name for a hill.

Yes that sounds friendly. Pendle sounds dark, brooding. Like Clitheroe. I've always thought dark things must be afoot in Clitheroe.

The 'witches' of Pendle were protecting a Catholic lady of high standing one night. (Catholic persecution at the time). Someone tipped them off to the authorities...and the rest is history...

I have climbed Pendle Hill. I have also had rather a good romp in the forest below!

Last Summer I think and almost got caught starkers by two children straying off the path walking with mother...

in view of its interesting history, they probably wouldn't have batted an eyelid!

my ma used to work at a nursing home called HillBrae, and apparently Brae means hill also, so we always laughed that she worked at Hill Hill, which was actually up the hill from our house!
