Ramsbottom is a relay of Winter Hill via Haslingden.

It has line of sight to Winter Hill (see below), but can't use it as it as a source because transmits on adjacent channels.

The other interesting thing about this relay is that BBC2 is trnamitted with four times the power of the other three channels.

Below: A view of the service area and also, in the background the Peel Monument on the right of the photo. On the left, in the far distance is Rivington Moor with Winter Hill highlighted (resizing the photo rendered it otherwise invisible!)
