Ogre Hill
Northumberland

Quarry on the side of Ogre Hill
Range: Cheviot Hills
Summit: 1,693 feet NT777069
55°21’20"N, 2°21’10"W

Ogre Hill is a hill amongst the Cheviot Hills, in Northumberland, but just half a mile, if that, form the boundary of Roxburghshire. Ravens Knowe is immediately to the south.

The summits of Ogre Hill and Ravens Knowe help to mark the western boundary here of the Otterburn Ranges, the army's live firing training area. Nevertheless, the Pennine Way runs over the summit, up the ridge from Ravens Knowe.

The western slopes of the hill have in the past been quarried.
