    Hiking

    Cowpe Low is an intriguing upland. Its 1,444-foot (440 m) summit is a shallow moorland bowl, almost flat, oddly circular and 3,000 feet (914 m) in diameter. Within the depression at its centre stands a lone trig point.

    It is one of the centrepieces on the Rossendale Way, which circumnavigates the region. The Way skirts the rim of Cowpe Low's bowl, rewarding walkers with delightful views of the Rossendale Valley.

    Hiking

    There are two “possible” Bronze Age burial mounds (barrows) at the southeastern side of Cowpe Lowe, near Waterfoot, Rossendale, Lancashire.

    One of these mounds looks more like a long barrow – while the other a bit further along is a smaller, circular mound. There is also evidence of early human activity on the summit of Cowpe Lowe from as far back as the Mesolithic, with a number of finds coming to light in recent years, which would suggest, then, that there was a settlement on the summit of the hill.
    A trig point with views which are well worth the climb up.
