Interesting facts about this location
Torpenhow Hill
Torpenhow Hill is a hill, whose main claim to fame is that its name is a quadruple tautology: "Tor", "pen", and "how" all mean "hill" in different languages, so that a literal translation of "Torpenhow Hill" would be "Hillhillhill Hill". It was assumed that successive residents of the area took the previous residents' name for the hill and added their own. This classic interpretation has been challenged.
