Trow Gill Gorge

A favorite walk for us as we visit the Yorkshire Dales near Settle again. Trow Gill, a wooded limestone ravine at the head of the 'Reginald Farrer' nature trail at the village of Claham. Now a dry gorge, Trow Gill was possibly once an underground cavern formed by waters which now take an alternative route through the Ingleborough Cave / Gaping Gill system. At some point in time the roof of this cavern is believed to have collapsed - Trow Gill being the suggested result (though other theories have the ravine as simply a glacial meltwater channel).

What an amazing place............it must still be quite damp down there, judging by the amount of moss!

I love the shape of the dead tree..........and the detail in the gorge walls is superb. The light and shadows are really lovely too. A corker of a shot Herb!

The sun never really reaches the bottom here Keith but at this time, as you can see, the cliff wall gets some great sun and shadows. To get to the famous 'Gaping Gill' cave, one must climb up through the tight gap you can see here. I did, this time to check a photo opp (but there was not for me). A small stream flows down through the gap and at times can be a torrent. Glad you liked it. ~ Herb

Great to see you again Toz. I am surprised that you have no photos from here in your Ipernity collection. Surely you know the spot too. If not, one for your bucket list perhaps. As always, very happy that you like it and your statement that I should have it on my wall Honours Me. Thanks too for the gold star.

Cheers, Herb

An endearing walk and adventure Peter. The trail before this ' The Reginald Farrer' (a private toll path) is one of our favourite walks and one we try to do at least once a year. About a mile back from this is the big show cave system of 'Ingleborough Cave' of which we have also visited. Glad you likes it.

Ah, I thought as much Toz. Then you will have photographed this and posted this somewhere too. I shall explore. Cheers for the feedback. ~ Herb

update: explored three of your other familiar to me sites and no sign of this Gill from you! Something you need to correct my friend :)

Both this photo and the older mono are perfect for the wonderful limestone landscape. The old tree trunk enhances the composition.
