Park Hill is a picturesque hill located in the Westmorland district of Cumbria, England. Standing at an elevation of approximately 1,000 feet, it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts.

The hill is characterized by its gentle slopes and undulating terrain, covered with lush green grass and scattered with native wildflowers. It is part of the wider Westmorland fells, which form part of the larger Lake District National Park. Park Hill is an important feature of the area, attracting visitors from far and wide.

The hill is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including various species of birds, mammals, and plant life. It is particularly renowned for its heather moorland, which blooms into a vibrant purple hue during the summer months.

There are several well-marked trails and footpaths that crisscross the hill, allowing visitors to explore its natural beauty and discover hidden gems along the way. From the summit, on a clear day, one can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the nearby Lake Windermere and the distant peaks of the Lake District.

Park Hill is accessible by road and is located in close proximity to the charming village of Westmorland, where visitors can find amenities such as cafes, pubs, and accommodations. The hill provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, offering an opportunity to connect with nature and enjoy the stunning landscapes that this part of England is famous for.
