Asby Scar

6 augustus 2023 - Orton, Verenigd Koninkrijk

If you want to see limestone pavement, Great Asby Scar is the place to go. This National Nature Reserve, in the heart of the Westmorland Dales, contains one of Britain’s most extensive and pristine areas of this rare landscape type. Since the last glaciers retreated, about 10,000 years ago, the action of water on the limestone has created the pattern of blocks (clints) and fissures (grikes) that we see today. It’s a fascinating sight even on a small scale, but at Great Asby, it’s breathtaking in its scale and complexity.
