White Hill is a hill in the Forest of Bowland, north-western England.[2] It lies between Slaidburn and High Bentham, on the boundary between the City of Lancaster and Ribble Valley districts. The summit houses a tower and a trig point. In medieval times, the hill marked one of the northernmost limits of the Lordship of Bowland.
The hill has an elevation of 544 m (1,785 ft) and a prominence of 159 m (522 ft) and is classed as a Marilyn.[1]
