Lover Gill
Slanting September sunlight accentuates the myriad gullies and folds of this complex ravine, a tributary of Cliff Beck. Evidence of former lead mining activity can be seen in the spoil tip, bottom right. The right-slanting branch looks as if it may be an artificial 'hush', more evidence of past mining activity.
