    Beautiful rock formations caused by the erosion of the gritstone tors. It feels almost other worldly walking amongst the Woolpacks, so called because they are said to resemble packs of wool from a distance.

      The Woolpacks area is great to explore, tricky in bad visibility and the peat bogs can be perilous, Excellent!!

        Nice place to hunker down in bad weather, easily find yourself in amongst the rocks away from the rain
