Parlick is a cone-shaped steep-sided hill at the extreme south of the Forest of Bowland 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. This hill is usually green — different from the often thorny brown to red of the northern hills. A thin neck joins Parlick onto Fair Snape Fell with well worn paths linking the two. Gliders often use thermals from this neck to gain altitude, which is fantastic to watch from the neck as they pass just feet above you.
The summit consists of a cairn and not much else, leaving the walker to look south at the view over to Preston and Winter Hill near Chorley.
