Also known as Tor Hill, or simply 'the Tor' by locals, Musbury Tor is a conspicuous flat-topped hill that dominates the skyline on the approach into Haslingden from Accrington.

From the valley, it looks like a standalone hill but Musbury Tor is actually a protrusion from Holcombe Moor, separating the Alden and Musbury Valleys. Its 1,116-foot (340 m) summit is a grand viewpoint for Rossendale and the wider Pennines.
