About this ebook
A travel guide book with a difference which gives a well planned 2 day, 2 location tour (by car) through the lovely scenery of the Forest and Trough of Bowland. This illustrated ebook gives directions, maps, location information & travel tips.
This tour takes the reader through the story of the Pendle Witches and the events leading up to their trial. It visits locations in Pendle associated with them, before taking the reader/traveller on the journey that the witches took from the Forest of Pendle to their trial in Lancaster Castle.
As well as following the witches story the guide also gives details of other interesting attractions in and nearby the locations visited, which the reader may also wish to visit whilst in the area.

Chapter 1 – British Weekend Jaunts (At Petit Cost!) Overview
This ebook is a chapter from my larger book British Weekend Jaunts (At Petit Cost!)
and has been produced to enable readers to purchase an individual tour from the book which they can take with them, and refer to, whilst on tour.
The ebook was written at the request of my friends and colleagues who asked me for details of short holidays I had put together for myself within the UK, as they too wanted a different kind of holiday from those currently on offer. With the current economic climate more of us are choosing to holiday at home and wanting to discover, sometimes for the first time, some of the beautiful cities and locations Britain has to offer. I also felt that my travel books may be of use to some of the many international visitors coming to Britain in 2012 for the Olympic Games and who wish to stay a few days longer to see something of this lovely country of ours.
This particular tour starts and ends in the UK and uses the travellers own means of transport, so international travellers wishing to follow the tour will also have to factor in airfare and car hire costs to their overall financial calculations.
The complete book British Weekend Jaunts (At Petit Cost!) comprises of the following six
Weekend Jaunts" and visits the British Cities, Towns and areas shown below. I hope, if this eBook is successful, to publish all of the tours as separate ebooks as well as new titles in the series:-
* Tour 1 – 4 Days Touring Snowdonia & the Llŷn Peninsula, North Wales
* Tour 2 – 4 Days Touring The English Lake District, Cumbria
* Tour 3 – 2 Days Discovering The Pendle Witch Trail (Pendle & Lancaster)
* Tour 4 – 3 Days Touring The Cotswolds
* Tour 5 – 3 Days Touring Bristol, Bath & North Somerset
* Tour 6 – 3 Days Touring The North Yorkshire Coast
I feel the tours in the Weekend Jaunts (At Petit Cost!)
series of ebooks are a breath of fresh air in that:
* Unlike some other travel books the individual tours were all planned and conducted on a very tight budget, using discount accommodation deals, promotions and vouchers, all of which would appeal to today’s cost conscious viewers.
* Each tour is multi locational and puts together destinations you may not normally find together; additionally some of the tours visit sites and other attractions which are off the beaten track
and not usually visited by tourists giving a holiday which is a little different. A couple of the tours also have underlying themes i.e. following in the footsteps of the Romans or short picturesque steam train journeys.
* For the inexperienced traveller sites and attractions at each location within the tour are grouped together, ensuring that maximum cost and timescale benefits are achieved.
* It gives the viewer information on how to put together a Weekend Jaunt
themselves (including transportation, accommodation, venues to visit, venue information and the best web sites to consult, etc) and how to customise a tour to their own requirements.
* The tours are suitable to all age groups and nationalities (particularly long haul visitors wishing to see as much of Britain as they can in a limited timescale, but not wanting to join a group arranged tour).
* The tours can be made by Single travellers, couples, families and group travellers as well as people working within the travel industry looking for different ideas. Additionally virtual travellers can follow the tours from their armchairs by looking up the cities/towns, attractions and venues on their computer should they wish.
* The tours do not have to be taken over a weekend and can start and finish on any day you choose. Additionally the tours can be undertaken at any time of year although if taking them between October and March please bear in mind the British weather conditions and reduced daylight hours.
One thing to bear in mind if you feel a little phased
about putting together your own Weekend Jaunt
, pick somewhere easy to start with in an
