Hiking
Freeholds Top is a 1,493-foot (455 m) high point on the moors above Bacup. It is marked by a white-washed trig pillar.
This is rough and rugged moorland. The Rossendale Way long-distance trail runs across the moor close to the trig. The terrain in this section is prone to be very marshy, so suitable footwear is a must. Your persistence is rewarded with excellent views across the valley towards Rawtenstall and Haslingden.
