Hail Storm Hill, also known as Cowpe Moss, is the highest point of the Rossendale Valley, England, an area of moorland and hill country situated between the West Pennine Moors and the South Pennines. It is wholly within Lancashire, although the administrative county boundary with the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale passes just a kilometre to the south-east of the summit.
Scout Moor Wind Farm now spans Hail Storm Hill.
The Forest of Rossendale also contains the Marilyn of Freeholds Top and the summit of Great Hameldon.
