Background
Description
Featherbed Top is a bare, domed summit covered by peat moorland. It rises about 900 m south of where the Pennine Way crosses Snake Pass and ESE of the town of Glossop. It is one of the highest hills in the Peak District. The surrounding moorland is known as Featherbed Moss, but this should not be confused with the hill of the same name about 10 km further north.
