Oliver Hill

Oliver Hill is a mountain summit in the Peak District National Park, located in the Staffordshire Moorlands. The peak is connected by several established walking routes that cross open moorland terrain with views across the surrounding landscape.

The summit has served as a waypoint and reference mark for travelers crossing the moorlands over many generations. Its position and prominence made it a natural landmark for navigation across this open terrain.

Oliver Hill forms part of the traditional farming landscape where shepherds maintain centuries-old practices of sheep management in the Peak District.

Walking routes to the summit are well marked and start from the nearby town of Leek. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and boggy ground, which becomes particularly muddy after rain.

The summit features a small cairn near aerial installations, marking it as a registered point in the Dewey Hill classification system.
