Originally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK group. A glorious winter afternoon in the Peak District. This was taken from Eyam Moor from the footpath from Sir William Hill to Leam at about SK 231 787. The view is to the NE towards the Callow Bank landslide. The road to Ringinglow snakes its way eastwards up to the right. Higger Tor is just out of view to the right; Stanage Edge just out of view to the left.

View taken from the same location on Eyam Moor as the previous photo. Higger Tor is the prominent rocky outcrop on the upper right skyline.

White Edge viewed from Eyam Moor. The Edge is comprised of Crawshaw Sandstone, mostly a coarse sandstone or gritstone very much like the underlying 'Millstone Grit' gritstone horizons, but this is stratigraphically in the basal Coal Measures. The old quarries just left of centre worked the Rough Rock, the stratigraphically highest sandstone in the 'Millstone Grit' (Namurian). The building towards the upper left is White Edge Lodge, formerly a gamekeeper's house on the Longshaw Estate. Now owned by the National Trust and let as a holiday cottage. A stunning location.

Eyam Moor is a good location to view the gritstone edges to the east of the Derwent Valley - from High Neb on Stanage Edge in the north down to Baslow Edge in the south. All the main edges visible in this photo are comprised of a single gritstone unit - the Chatsworth Grit (a.k.a Rivelin Grit) in the 'Millstone Grit' group (Namurian). Faulting has fractured the gritstone into discrete 'slabs' each with it's own elevation and dip direction. This accounts for the different sections of the edges - e.g. Higger Tor, Millstone Edge, Burbage Edge, etc. This photo is comprised of 10 portrait-style photos joined together using Canon's 'Photostitch software, with some subsequent Photoshop cloning of the sky portion of the photo in order to give sufficient sky coverage along the length of the panorama.

The vertical scale has been exaggerated x 2 in order to bring out the various faulted sections of the gritstone edges. The visible features L-R are: Higger Tor, Millstone Edge (part-quarried), Millstone Edge (eastern part - upfaulted, with the gritstone tors of Over Owler Tor and Mother Cap Stone) and Burbage Edge, southern part.
