Bridestone Anvil.
1400 Feet above sea level on the windswept Moors above Todmorden is an escarpment of Gritstone which has been shaped over centuries by the ravages of its hostile Pennine climate.
There are quite a number of fabulously shaped outcrops and the one at the top of this incline is shaped like a giant Anvil. The area gets its name from a prominent boulder called "The Great Bridestone" which is shaped like an upturned bottle with a very narrow base.
The weather was very overcast and this was as good as the light got during the visit. I did like the old wall providing a lead in to this scene with the winter grasses providing plenty of texture!
