The View from Pendle Hill
Many people choose to visit Pendle Hill because they’re interested in the history of the site, as this was the infamous location of Pendle Witch Trials of the 17th century. Others opt to climb the 557m summit to enjoy the picture-perfect views.
The power of the view is so inspirational that George Fox founded the Quaker movement in 1652 after looking over the hill. Pendle Hill is included in the Forest of Bowland as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its panoramic scenery is often inspiring to amateur photographers, who seek to capture the vibrant green fields and crystalline water bodies that surround it.
The View from Williamson Park
This beautiful location is home to 54 acres of parkland, which in themselves are a stunning sight. The Ashton Memorial is the centre piece of the park, built by Lord Ashton in 1909 in memory of his second wife.
Here you can spend a delightful morning or afternoon taking pictures of the woodland walks and the views over Fylde Coast, Morecambe Bay, and the Lake District. This 50m tall folly stands out in the Lancastrian skyline and is visible for many kilometres around.

The region’s natural scenery is truly one-of-kind, but you can also find a different kind of beauty here. If you visit Levens Hall, a manor house near Kendal, you’ll be able to capture the stunning manmade topiary garden. Not only is the manor itself a striking feat of architecture and design, the gardens are one of the UK’s top attractions.
First built by Guillaume Beaumont between 1689 and 1712, the modern gardens still have a similar layout and appearance to the original creation – and provide a wealth of materials for your photographs, showcasing beautiful plants and flowers through carefully thought-out designs.
Located in Holcombe Hill, this 39m tower overlooks the village of Holcombe and the town of Ramsbottom. Opened in 1852, the monument offers visitors the chance to climb the 148 steps and enjoy views that stretch as far as North Wales!
