What is recorded here
Over Owler Tor rises to approximately 300 metres and is part of the southern edge of the Peak District's gritstone uplands. It is a prominent local landmark with outcrops of Millstone Grit, and its name suggests a historical or folkloric connection to a "owler," possibly a watchman or guardian. It matters as a topographical feature within the broader landscape of South Yorkshire's upland geography.
