Torpenhow Hill

Peak

Torpenhow Hill is claimed to be the name of a hill near the village of Torpenhow in Cumbria, England, a name that is tautological. According to an analysis by linguist Darryl Francis and locals, there is no landform formally known as Torpenhow Hill there, either officially or locally, which would make the term an example of a ghost word. Torpenhow Hill is situated 1½ miles southeast of Harbybrow.
