Nun Hills commands a rugged elevation where the Pennine winds scour the gritstone slopes. It lies 1.3 miles south-west of Bacup (from Bacup: bearing 229°T, OS grid SD 852 216), and is situated east-north-east of Cowpe village. Stone-built dwellings here possess a stoic permanence, their grey facades catching the slant of low, autumnal light that turns the surrounding moors to shades of rusted copper. The geography reveals a hard-won intimacy with the earth, as the steep contours of the land dictate the narrow, winding paths taken by residents. A short distance to the north-east, the verdant basin of Sow Clough offers a sheltered contrast to the exposed ridges that define the horizon. The proximity of the Lee Quarry Sssi serves as a stark reminder of the region’s industrial pulse, where human endeavour once carved deep scars into the silent rock. Nun Hills maintains an observant silence, watching over the broader Rossendale landscape with the patience of an old, weathered sentry.
