Black Hill, Mountain summit in Herefordshire, England.
Black Hill reaches an elevation of 640 meters and features a knife-edge ridge offering clear views across both sides of the Black Mountains range.
The area surrounding Black Hill contains multiple archaeological sites indicating continuous human settlement patterns dating back to prehistoric periods in Britain.
The mountain earned the local name Cat's Back due to its distinctive silhouette that resembles a crouching feline when observed from the Herefordshire perspective.
A designated parking area at the southern end of the ridge accommodates six vehicles, with access through minor roads leading from the town of Longtown.
The mountain contains a small pool near its summit, formed in the peat, which changes in size according to local precipitation patterns.
