Originally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK group. This is a view over the Barbrook Valley towards Swine Sty and Big Moor, on the Eastern Edges in the Peak District National Park. The area around Swine Sty is the site of an extensive Neolithic - Early Bronze Age settlement and field system. The camera location is in South Yorkshire; the distant moorland is in Derbyshire. The county boundary runs along the Barbrook valley in the middle distance. The distant scarps are comprised mainly of Crawshaw Sandstone in the lowest part of the Coal Measure sequence; the lower slopes are of Rough Rock at the uppermost part of the Namurian 'Millstone Grit' sequence.
