SK0383 : Cracken Edge and The Naze

near to Whitehough, Derbyshire, Great Britain

Cracken Edge and The Naze
Cracken Edge and The Naze
Taken from just beyond the northern edge of the square, SK037840, looking south. The Edge is extensively quarried (and was still marked on the 1940s map as "Cracken Edge Quarry"). The Naze is the green-grassed, flat-topped plateau on the left of the picture (in SK0483). The prominent diagonal line on the hillside in front of The Naze is an inclined tramway; the winding gear is still present at the top (see SK0383 : Winding gear, Cracken Edge). Combs Moss, Lady Low and Cow Low (SK0678) are visible in the background.
