Description
Brown Knoll is a treeless, domed summit covered in moorland vegetation. A track between the Pennine Way and Pennine Bridleway runs past the summit to the northwest and a footpath branches off from that track crosses the summit itself and heads southeast to the hills lining the southern side of the valley of Edale.[1] The area is designated Open Access land,[2] but is outside the National Trust's High Peak Estate.[3]
