Stanage from High Neb

A late afternoon view along the southern part of Stanage Edge taken from just south of High Neb, the highest point on the Edge.

Stanage Edge is comprised of Rivelin Grit (aka Chatsworth Grit), Namurian age, Upper Carboniferous. The coarse-grained gritstone was deposited in a series of delta distributary channels. The gritstone is normally strongly cross-bedded.
