@selzero According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpenhow_Hill " there is no landform formally known as Torpenhow Hill [near the village of #Torpenhow in #Cumbria], either officially or locally, which would make the term an example of a ghost word."

This journey of 5km as the crow flies will take you 110 minutes on 3 buses. It's legitimately quicker to walk. Meanwhile 75km from #Kendal to #Torpenhow will take 144 minutes on two buses (with a short walk at the end).
