Another late afternoon westerly view of Bamford Moor from High Neb, the highest point on Stanage Edge. This part of he edge has been quarried for millstones, and some abandoned stones can be seen amongst the grass and bracken. 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. Bamford Moor is composed of the stratigraphically lower and older Kinderscout Grit.
