This is one of several classic areas of bare limestone pavement in this part of the National Park. It lies within the Ingleborough National Nature Reserve and is looked after by Natural England. It is much photographed because of the windswept hawthorn trees that are scattered over it, twisted and gnarled by the harsh conditions.
