Far Deep Clough from Crook Hill

A view northwards from Crook Hill, near Ladybower in the Peak District, looking into Far Deep Clough and beyond to Derwent and Howden Edges. Although not of great elevation compared with the heights all around, Crook Hill's airy rocky summits of Kinderscout Grit offer a lovely viewpoint of the surrounding moors and gritstone edges.

The lower slopes of the Clough are cut through the Shale Grit (Namurian) with its typical stepped profile caused by the presence of multiple layers of hard sandstone and softer shales. The distant scarp of Derwent and Howden Edges are composed of Kinderscout Grit.
