At the Summit
On the summit, you'll find a modest rocky outcrop with a small stone cairn that’s perfect for resting and eating that sandwich you’ve lugged up.
Terrain & Geology
Revidge is primarily composed of sandstone, which forms the rolling “cliffs” that give the hill its character. The rock formations here were laid down in the Permian and Triassic periods, making it a geologist's delight.
Views & Scenery
From the summit, you can see stunning vistas of the Forest of Bowland, the distant Pennines, and on a clear day, even Blackpool's Tower poking through the landscape.
History & Heritage
Name Origin
The name Revidge is derived from Old Norse, meaning ‘grazing land’—quite fitting given the area's pastoral nature.
Historical Significance
Historically, Revidge has been a local landmark for centuries, used by shepherds and travellers navigating the lush pastures of Lancashire.
