Barley is a village in the borough of Pendle, in Lancashire, England. It is in the civil parish of Barley-with-Wheatley Booth. The village lies between Black Moss Reservoirs and Ogden Reservoirs,[1] and is within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).[2]
The hamlet of Barley Green is immediately southwest of the village. The village is close to Pendle Hill, and is a popular starting point for walkers of this hill.[3] The circular Pendle Way long-distance trail passes through here.
There is a children's playground by the stream. There is also a substantial 1920s public house, The Pendle Inn, and a restaurant, The Barley Mow.
It has won the small village category in 1996 and the hamlet category of the Lancashire Best Kept Village competition in 2008, 2009 and 2021.[4][5][6]
