There will be events in Colne town centre before the race comes to an exciting climax at the finish line.www.tourofbritainstage2.co.uk

Monday September 7th Stage

Pendle is going cycle mad! It’s the 3 “R’s”… but not as you know it! Rides, Races, and Routes! Pendle Cycling Festival is coming and has events that everyone can be involved in. It starts and ends with TWO almighty spectator races, The Colne Grand Prix on Wednesday July 15th and the Tour of Britain on September 7th. There are a number of cycle rides led by local clubs in between and after. The Festival also

sees Cycle Saturday on the 5th September with a whole bunch of great youth races. This event is at the Steven Burke Cycle Hub – a very family friendly no cars track where you can ride for free most of the time. If you want ideas of where you can cycle, why not check out the routes on the countryside section of www.visitpendle.com

You know what they say... get inspired!

To find out which symbol represents which witch, join our interactive quiz thanks to our free trail guide available from Barley Cabin, or download now from www.visitpendle.com/download-brochures

If you’re looking for something both spooky and nice to do why not go up to the woods? Or to be more precise, Aitken Wood, near the village of Barley.There you will find the Pendle Sculpture Trail. Walking through the trail you will find metal bats in the trees, giant tree archways, the spirits of the wood, and… well, 10 witches lurking among the trees! But they won’t jump out on you, because they are in fact ceramic plaques. Each one has its own symbols, representing each one of the ten famous Pendle Witches of 1612.
