The southern end of Burbage Edge has been extensively quarried for millstone manufacture, probably mostly in the 19th century. This particular quarry has an amazing prow-like pillar of rock left standing ("The Cioch Block"). Higger Tor is visble in the far distance. This photo is sepia version of an HDR photo posted previously.

This photo is an HDR attempt in order to cope with the huge range of light intensity on this sunny day.
