Hail Storm Hill, Mountain summit in Lancashire, England
Hail Storm Hill rises to 477 meters in elevation between the West Pennine Moors and South Pennines, featuring a stone marker at its peak.
The mountain has long served as a natural boundary marker between Lancashire and the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, with the border one kilometer southeast.
Three significant footpaths intersect near the summit: the Pennine Bridleway, Rossendale Way, and Rochdale Way, making it central to regional hiking networks.
The shortest route to reach the summit begins from Cowpe village, covering two miles round trip with an elevation gain of 600 feet.
Scout Moor Wind Farm now operates on portions of Hail Storm Hill, transforming this natural landmark into a renewable energy generation site.
