Turn Hill is a prominent hill located in the county of Lancashire, England. Standing at an elevation of approximately 367 meters (1,204 feet), it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain. The hill is situated in the southern part of the county, near the village of Withnell, and is part of the West Pennine Moors.

Turn Hill offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, making it a popular destination for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and photographers alike. From its summit, visitors can enjoy breathtaking vistas of the picturesque Lancashire countryside, with rolling green hills, quaint villages, and patches of woodland.

The hill is covered in heather and grass, providing a haven for various species of wildlife. It is home to a diverse range of birds, including kestrels, curlews, and grouse, making it a great spot for birdwatching. Additionally, the surrounding moorland is inhabited by various mammals such as rabbits, foxes, and deer.

Several walking paths and trails traverse the hill, catering to both casual walkers and more experienced hikers. One popular route is the Withnell Moor circular walk, which takes visitors on a scenic journey through the moorland, passing by Turn Hill on the way.

Overall, Turn Hill offers a peaceful and idyllic escape into nature, providing visitors with stunning views, rich wildlife, and an opportunity to connect with the beautiful Lancashire countryside.

Dunnockshaw Community Woodland, Rossendale, Lancashire Provisional Met Office rainfall figures for March indicate that the month is likely to be one of the driest on record, even with rain falling over recent days. The UK average rainfall total from 1 to 29 March was 39.1 mm - 41% of the long-term average for the whole of the month which is 95.9 mm. This provisional figure makes it the driest March since 1953 when 41.6 mm of rain was recorded. However, this month's figure will increase following the rain which has fallen over the last few days. England and Wales were particularly dry, with provisional figures suggesting the month could be amongst the driest in the past 100 years. Met Office
