Fair Snape Fell is one of the larger hills in the

trig point and large cairn occupy the top of the western escarpment

, with the highest point being about 700 metres (770 yd) to the north-east.

The word snape means "pasture"; thus Fair Snape Fell means "fell of the fair (beautiful) pasture".^[citation needed]

Considerable areas of the Bowland fells were used for military training during World War II and there are still unexploded bombs in some areas, including nearby Wolf Fell.^{[citation needed]}
