Sabden

On the fringe of Pendle Forest, Sabden is set beneath the impressive bulk of Pendle Hill. This is the site of Pendle Ski Club's dry slopes, where tuition is available to visitors (by appointments only on 01254 822347). Pendle Hill itself is where George Fox, founder of the Quakers, had a vision, which led to the foundation of that movement. The local handloom weavers of old were said to weave parkin using oatmeal as the warp and treacle as the weft! Pendle Antique Centre is a popular attraction. Housed in an old mill the centre has a constantly changing stock of Antique Furniture and bric-a-brac from British and European sources, most of which are refurbished on the premises.
