Hail Storm Hill, Mountain summit in Lancashire, England
Hail Storm Hill is a summit in Lancashire that reaches 477 meters and features a stone marker at its peak. The location sits within moorland terrain that offers views across the surrounding valleys and rolling hills.
The mountain has long served as a natural boundary between Lancashire and the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale. This role as a border marker shaped its importance in the region's geography.
Three significant footpaths intersect near the summit: the Pennine Bridleway, Rossendale Way, and Rochdale Way, making it central to regional hiking networks.
The paths are generally well-trodden, but moorland conditions can become boggy and wet after rain. Sturdy boots and weather-appropriate clothing are advisable for any visit.
Scout Moor Wind Farm operates across portions of the slope, transforming the area into a renewable energy site. The modern turbines are a striking feature visible from many angles.
