Pendle Way approaching Thornton-in-Craven This is very much a Lancastrian Long Distance footpath, but here it makes a very brief appearance in North Yorkshire. The way is approaching St Mary's Church, Thornton-in-Craven before swinging west towards the Rolls Royce complex in Barnoldswick.

I’ve completed the challenge many years ago in my youth and this time we just tackled this one on a circular 6 mile walk. We took the 3 peaks ascent route which is steep in places and involves a scramble up some rocks near the end but the views
