The Clarion House in Pendle

Clarion Sunday . Super weather, crackin' t'flags. Lots of Clarion Cycling clubs in attendance. 100 mile round trip on the bike .

Great community resource for walkers and cyclists. Only open Sundays but well worth a detour down Jinney Lane if you are in the Pendle area. Lots of information about the original Clarion initiative and the socialist movement. We ordered drinks and a biscuit (take your own pack up if you want) and got into a conversation with a local lady. Before we knew it we were putting the world to rights!! Amazing views too. Ran my volunteers so go support them !

Clarion house is an historic building built by the early socialist as a place to eat a packed lunch whilst out for a ride on the bike or walking. It's a charming little place nice and snug. Well worth a visit

Found this little gem whilst on a walk...thought it was closed but on inspection it was open! Friendly service, excellent value, an open fire and such a unique place, what more can you ask for!

On a very crisp Autumn Sunday we received a warm welcome at the Clarion with its coal fire, pint of tea (made the old fashioned way with loose tea leaves) and refectory benches and tables creating a communal experience hard to find in modern day life. Historic, rustic, a haven for walkers and cyclists, visit their website to understand the Clarion's socialist traditions. Love this place.

Concierto en Clarion cuando visitamos en julio de 2016, m'Mantener la bandera roja volando aquí y otras cosas tipo dedo en una oreja. Esperaba ver Jerry Corbin solicitó presentarse ante o Derek Hatton... pero no hay... Debe haber sido más de 100 personas allí... . Marquee, el servicio puerta... luego no Nick o'Pendle. Subir más fácil de lo que esperaba... Estupendas vistas... Algunos otros ciclistas estaban en la cima discutiendo con un chico adolescente que estaba conduciendo como una mujer de 95 años... 6000 rpm, primera marcha, humo del embrague onduladas... Entonces, Ribby Whalley, Broughton, etc.
