Burbage Valley from Higger Tor; x2 vertical exaggeration

The Burbage Valley and Burbage Edge viewed from Higger Tor.

The x2 vertical exaggeration brings out the geological and geomorphological features in the landscape. The break in the line of the gritstone edge just above the centre of the shot is due to a fault dislocating the Chatsworth Grit, downthrow to the north (left in the photo).

There has been extensive tree-felling here in the last couple of years, as can be seen in this and similar views. Here is the same plantation (from a different viewpoint) in 2007.
