Pendle Hill, Mountain summit in Lancashire, England
Pendle Hill rises to 557 meters above sea level, standing as an isolated peak within the Pennines range with sedimentary rock formations.
The summit contains a Bronze Age burial site, revealing ancient settlements and human activities dating back thousands of years in this region.
The hill gained notoriety through the Pendle witch trials of 1612, where twelve individuals faced accusations of murder through witchcraft.
Multiple walking paths lead to the summit from the village of Barley, with designated parking areas and information points for visitors.
The name combines three languages: Cumbric 'pen', Old English 'hul', and modern English 'hill', creating a triple redundancy meaning hill-hill-hill.
