Pendle Hill

Pendle Hill est une colline ayant donné son nom au district de Pendle en Angleterre. Son sommet se trouve à 557 mètres d'altitude.

La colline a captivé l'imagination de beaucoup, en raison notamment des fameuses sorcières de Pendle. Pendle est évoqué dans une série de livres de Joseph Delaney, The Wardstone Chronicles, qui reprend certaines rumeurs nées à Pendle[réf. nécessaire].

En 1652, George Fox a affirmé avoir eu une vision sur Pendle. C'était durant les premières années de la Société religieuse des Amis (quakers). De nos jours, le nom de Pendle Hill reste étroitement lié au quakerisme.
