It took me a while to find out why it was there but it makes sense, it's gritstone someone ordered a trough sooner than struggle getting a boulder off the moor the weight was reduced by doing the work on the moor first the outside then the channel followed by the remainder of the inside but in this case a disaster it cracked, imagine doing all that work perhaps in bad conditions for nothing

The Old Man of Calke , the oldest tree on the estate is thought to be around 1,200 years old I wonder what it has seen in those years, the path by it was specially made to avoid visitors compacting the soil around it's roots, fortunately it is well away from the carpark so not to many venture out there. Many of the trees on the estate are classed as ancient
