Seavy Mire Hill is a prominent geographical feature located in the county of Lancashire, England. It is classified as a hill, rather than a mountain, due to its elevation and size. Standing at an impressive height of approximately 350 meters (1148 feet) above sea level, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

Situated within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Seavy Mire Hill is known for its picturesque setting and diverse wildlife. The hill is covered in a lush blanket of heather, creating a vibrant purple hue during the summer months. This vibrant landscape attracts nature enthusiasts and hikers who enjoy exploring the area's numerous walking trails.

Seavy Mire Hill is also home to a variety of bird species, including the endangered hen harrier. Birdwatchers flock to the area to catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. The hill's unique ecological characteristics have contributed to its designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

The hill is easily accessible by foot, with a network of footpaths and trails leading to its summit. The climb is moderately challenging, rewarding hikers with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. On a clear day, one can spot the distant peaks of the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Park.

Seavy Mire Hill offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life, providing visitors with an opportunity to connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of Lancashire's countryside.

The Track up to Moss Eccles Tarn A lot of the trees in this area have blown over in, I presume, last year's gales.  Whether this timber is a result of that or has been deliberately 'harvested' from the local woodland, I don't know.
