Sough is a small, quiet hamlet in the borough of Pendle in Lancashire, sitting on the lower flanks of the Pennines with easy access to the ridge of Pendle Hill. Its landscape is typically rural - drystone walls, farms and stone cottages - and it serves as a handy base for walkers exploring the local fells and lanes.
Historically the area is shaped by agriculture and the wider 19th‑century textile economy of Pendle, while culturally it shares in the district’s strong sense of local identity and folklore, not least the famous Pendle witch stories. Today Sough remains largely residential with a small local economy and close community ties, many residents commuting to nearby towns while valuing the hamlet’s peaceful, rural character.
