Longridge Fell is a fell near the English town of Longridge, Lancashire. It lies at the southern end of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As its name suggests, it takes the form of a long ridge which rises in a northeasterly direction from within the town of Longridge to its summit 4.5 miles distant. As the ridge curves towards the east, it comes to a sudden end and drops into the Hodder Valley. The fell is a good example of a cuesta; the ridge has a sharp drop or escarpment on its northern side, and a gentler, more varying slope on its southern side.
From the summit, there are views to Preston toward the southwest; the Fylde Coast in the west and the fells of Bowland to the north and west (including Parlick, Fair Snape Fell and Beacon Fell); Parts of the Yorkshire Dales can be seen to the northeast; primarily Pen-y-ghent.
Clitheroe and Pendle Hill are to the East and to the Southeast is Winter Hill and the West Pennine Moors. On clear days, the Lake District and sometimes the Isle of Man can be seen to the northwest, and the Snowdonia mountain range to the southwest.
This cache and other similar caches were originally placed by CharlieG0PZO for Radio Amateurs,who are taking part in the "Summits on the Air" programme. As they are hidden on mountain tops they will be of interest to geocachers who are fell walkers.
