Harcles Hill on Holcombe Moor stands at 371m. It's an area owned and managed by the National Trust who are embarking on a peat land restoration project. Restoration of this land reduces the soil carbon loss and helps trap CO2 in the ground. It will also reduce flood problems downstream of the moorland by increasing the grounds ability to hold water and slowing the time it takes for runoff to reach the streams and rivers.
