Pendle Sculpture Trail Aitken Wood
Aitken Wood is a small woodland area on Stang End Top, across the valley from Pendle Hill with good views. There are a number of sculptures and hidden plaques to find in the woods, based around the Pendle Witchcraft tales.
The Permissive Path down the southeastern side of the hill has since closed, spoiling the “circular” walk that was once possible.
