    Knowl Hill near Rochdale is a visible landmark that can be seen for several miles around.and, for the people of that town. The sugar-loaf (conical-shaped) hill has a flat summit that is topped by an Ordnance Survey concrete triangulation pillar, and is 419m (1374) feet above sea-level. It is about 1 mile to the east of Edenfield Road (A680) along a couple of good moorland footpaths; and it overlooks the Ashworth Moor reservoir and the haunted Owd Betts public house, while just downslope to the southeast it overlooks the village of Red Lumb, the hamlet of Wolstenholme, Greenbooth Reservoir, and the village of Norden. To the northwest, the hill stands as a sentinel over the area known as Cheesden with its windswept moors and, further along, it is more distant from Facit and Turn Village, while to the west of Knowl Hill there is Wind Hill and the Ashworth Valley beyond.
