Bonfire Hill

Bonfire Hill is shown as a mountain / peak on the public map of Westmorland and Furness. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Bonfire Hill is a small upland feature, likely less than 300 metres in height, situated within the low-lying hilly landscape of Westmorland and Furness. Its name may derive from historical or local traditions of hilltop celebrations or signal fires, though specific folklore is not well documented. The area is part of the broader Carboniferous limestone and millstone grit geology typical of northern England.
