This is part of Southerscales Nature Reserve. The rangers do a great job here of protecting the limestone pavement, grassland, wetland and flora. It's an immensely popular area to walk given its beauty, but also given the fact that the Yorkshire Three Peaks route passes through here.

Another beautiful Pavement (although I am still most partial to Malham...). Amazing view of Ingleborough from here. If you're climbing it from here - a bit of a scramble! (I climbed it from Horton-in-Ribblesdale...)
