Winter Hill

Winter Hill is the most noteworthy point in the West Pennine region and towers over Rivington and its environment, in spite of the fact that it isn't sufficiently tall to be classed as a mountain. Winter Hill is extremely a vast, raised the level of moorland with a few summits named as slopes in their own right, one being Rivington Pike. There are a few other prominent slopes including Counting Hill, Noon Hill, Crooked Edge Hill, Adam Hill, Brown Hill and the sky is the limit from there.

The name Winter Hill is most likely gotten from Old Norse, the primary recorded name for the slope being Wintyrheld which would mean truly Winter Hill. In any case, "winter" and its ieties surely had the signifying "wet" in the old circumstances and in this way signifies "the wet slope", as opposed to our cutting-edge relationship of frosty or snow.
