great place for a walk

Always love a good trig point

Trig Point Kinver Edge

The toposcope got a refresh a few years back with a granite replica of the original Welsh slate top that had weathered back. Now you can clearly work out where you are in relation to New York again! New York is a bit too far off on the horizon, but with the vantage that the 164m high point affords you, you will be treated to views of the Clent Hills, Shatterford Hill, Dudley, Wenlock Edge, Malvern Hills and the Shropshire Hills.

Nice place to rest and look where you are in relation to New York for example. Yes it shows where New York is. Nice table top for lunch!

The cutting is through beds of Highley Sandstone. They were deposited in the river channels on swampy deltas 310 million years ago. Their characteristic grey-green tinge indicates deposition in oxygen-poor conditions of a humid swamp. This is in contrast to the red Alveley Sandstone, seen earlier, formed in the oxygen-rich environment of a semi-arid desert. The pronounced 'bedding planes' running almost horizontally across the rock face, represent breaks in deposition. 'Cross-bedded' or 'current-bedded' layers are inclined at angles to each other. This cross cutting relationship is a result of changing directions in the river current that deposited the sediments, in the same way as changes in wind direction caused the dune-bedding seen in the Bridgnorth Sandstone

Fantastic views from the top of Kinver Edge. Well worth the climb.

The Rock house is really cool and well presented
