Tithe Barn Hillock is a prominent hill located in the county of Lancashire in northwest England. Situated near the town of Clitheroe, it is part of the Ribble Valley and is known for its picturesque landscape and historical significance.

Rising to an elevation of approximately 200 meters (656 feet), Tithe Barn Hillock offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Its summit is adorned with lush greenery, with patches of heather and wildflowers adding vibrant colors to the landscape. The hill is primarily composed of gritstone, reflecting the geological heritage of the region.

The name "Tithe Barn Hillock" is derived from a historical reference to a tithe barn that once stood on the hill. Tithes were a form of taxation during medieval times, where a portion of agricultural produce was given to the church. The barn would have been used to store and distribute these tithes.

Today, Tithe Barn Hillock serves as a popular destination for hikers, walkers, and nature enthusiasts. Its well-maintained footpaths and trails make it accessible to visitors of all abilities. The hill's location within the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty further enhances its appeal.

The hill offers a haven for wildlife, with various species of birds, mammals, and insects calling it home. Nature lovers can spot red grouse, hares, and even the occasional red deer in the area.

Entrance to Skitters Wood from Woodedge Skitters Woodland is relatively small area of ancient woodland on the western side of Ashton-in-Makerfield, which is used by the local community for walking. It has a narrow linear shape with Millingford Brook running through the centre which lies in a natural valley. Examination of old maps shows that the outline shape of Skitters Woodland has not altered since the 1800s with the exception of the removal of the lake in the 1950s and the building of the motorway straight through in the 1960s. It was bordered to the South by Home Farm which farmed the lands up to where the natural valley dropped down to the brook. It was bordered to the North by Old Road Farm which farmed the lands up to where the natural valley dropped down to the brook. It was bordered to the East by the Town Centre. It was bordered to the West by Skitters Farm which was situated off Low Bank Road. It would appear that due to the natural valley of the line of Millingford Brook the farms which bordered the Woodland did not farm in the area around the brook which has allowed the woodland to develop unhindered. Skitters is now bordered to the North and South by the housing estates built in the 1970s on the farm land. Skitters is a valued resource for the local community, and was noted as a priority habitat recorded as a Site of Biological Importance in Wigan Council’s Local Development Framework Core Strategy Core Strategy Preferred Options Report of June 2009. The oldest trees to be found in Skitters are approximately 150 years old. <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.friendsofashton.org.uk/skitters.htm" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.friendsofashton.org.uk/skitters.htm">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> Friends of Ashton
