Aerial view above the summit of Hoof Stones Height, sometimes labelled as Black Hambledon (although that's actually the ridge to the north of the summit) situated with Stiperden Moor to the west and Stansfield Moor to the east.
A trig point (triangulation point marks the summit, which at 479m is the highest point in Todmorden parish. The boundary between Lancashire (Burnley) and West Yorkshire (Calderdale) bisects the summit, and marks the watershed between the west and east of the Pennines.
Undulating acidic upland moor and blanket bogs, punctuated with occasional outcrops of rock and boulders, is the defining landscape type here.
