If you're old enough to remember the film Whistle Down The Wind, with Hayley Mills and Alan Bates, it was filmed around Pendle, with lots of scenes in Downham, as lovely a village as anyone could imagine. The churchyard is gorgeously atmospheric, with the finest views of Pendle. The Assheton Arms does great beer and lovely sandwiches. Springtime is the best time to go, lots of flowers and not too crowded.
