Britland Edge Hill is a wet, unmarked patch of moorland north of the Woodhead valley, not far from the Holme Moss transmitter mast. There's no cairn or post, just ground on the south side of a fence that's slightly higher than the rest. Most people reach it from Holme Moss by following the fence line across the bog.
