High up / on the top of

[Walt Whitman]

“Heathcliff’s house stands high up on the top of the wild, windy moors and it is called Wuthering Heights.”

This is a rewriting of a rather complex paragraph from ''Wuthering Heights'' by Emily Brontë. Do you think that “high up” and “on the top of” express the same idea? If so, is it utterly wrong to use them together?

Thanks

It sounds fine to me.
