England is so beautiful !!

It would have helped if the presenter actually stated the towns where she visits. The Pendle Heritage Centre is in Barrowford, approximately 5 miles south south east of Pendle Hill, and just west of Colne, where the whole sorry saga of the Pendle witches truly started. Saint Mary's parish church is in Newchurch (4 mile from Barrowford), where you will also find the Witches Galore shop. The presenter then teleports to Downham Village, which truly had little to do with the Pendle Witches directly. Downham is over on the north side of Pendle Hill, whereas most of the Pendle Witch saga occurred on the south side. Downham is very quaint and pretty, and was the location for the 1961 film 'Whistle Down the Wind' starring a young Hayley Mills.

Elysiumfire: I think she must have been using a "Star Trek transporter"......one minute she's in Newchurch, then she's in Downham and then she's in Barley "ready for my climb up Pendle Hill" (she says @3.10, as she walks off in the wrong direction).

Excellent takes in some good places. I remember a brief and too hurried visit to Pendle Heritage Centre at Barrowford.

[@brianfreel1473]

Quien no conoce nada, no ama nada 😮 Inglaterra es más que a simple territorio geográfico, es historia universal, muy rica en arte y literatura🎉 Las brujas de 1612 sólo son un grano de arena en el océano de relatos didácticos de la humanidad ❤

[@alexanderthegreat9663]

Great place to visit and explore! And my god she’s gorgeous! I’m in love! Lol 😍

[@GrapeSodaBlackPeople]

And now I want to move there

[@greenfingersgardener822]

Well that's wrong on the board at 1:43, it says Monday 17th August 1612. 17th August 1612 was a Friday

[@saikkussu]

And now there's a Doctor Who episode with Lancashire Witches! Seems to match up with the actual sceenery quite well for what they could manage! Even more reasons to travel to the real place.

[@500freefall]

"And now I am off back to London"..weekend wanderer been everywhere.. seen loads.. learnt little.

[@TheTemporalAnomaly]

A little bit too much lunch and dinner and not enough spooky history!

[@clairebevington4679]

its such a shame that despite the beautiful countryside, amazing history the towns like colne, nelson, Burnley are rough nasty run down dirty hovels and not at all somewhere you'd want to spend your time.

[@philipwatkinson1970]

i live in burnley and its not all nasty and hovel like as you describe yes bad areas like anywhere else but the vast majority is nice you obviously didnt take the time to really look around lots of great places to visit if you bother to look

[@stealthyguy1784]

Your absolutely correct!they are the most depressing horrible hell holes I've ever been to.

[@andyclark1337]
