Fair Snape Fell, Mountain summit in Forest of Bowland, England

Fair Snape Fell reaches 521.9 meters in elevation with a prominence of 226.2 meters, featuring grass-covered terrain and peat formations at its summit.

During World War II, the Bowland fells served as military training grounds, leaving unexploded ordnance in certain areas near Fair Snape Fell.

The name derives from Old English, where 'snape' means pasture, indicating the historical agricultural use of this mountainous landscape.

Hikers can access the summit through three main paths: from Parlick in the south, Saddle Fell in the east, or Bleasdale valley in the west.

A trig point and large cairn mark the western escarpment, while the actual highest point lies 700 meters northeast of these structures.
