About Parlick
Parlick is an approximately cone-shaped steep-sided hill at the extreme south of the main range of Bowland fells in Lancashire, England. Its bog-free sides make it more popular with walkers than the shallow boggy hills to its north. Paths zigzag up this hill from the south, or for the more strenuous ascent, a straight path can be chosen. It is usually green and is famous among tourists.Address : Parlick, Preston PR3 2WP, UK
