Higger Tor Sunset

Higger Tor is a dominant landmark of the Dark Peak, in the north of England's Peak District National Park. It's a gritstone tor overlooking the Burbage Valley and the iron age hill fort of Carl Wark to the southeast.

 

This view looks west towards Hathersage and the Hope Valley, with Castleton, Mam Tor and the Great Ridge in the far distance.

 

The purple heather seen here in the foreground thrives all over the moors of the Peak District and is in full bloom every August.
