Saturday's sunrise on Higger Tor. It was all over in a minute or two. I quickly composed a shot with rocks in the foreground.
South Yorkshire has some great areas of the Dark Peak in its boundary. Higger tor, Over Owler Tor, Millstone Edge, even The Crow Stones, to name but a few.
This was my first visit here. Its a great place and the sunset was amazing although I had to make an early exit as I had my son with me who was complaining of been cold so I missed the best of it. Defiantly making another trip here. perhaps for sunrise next time.

A wild and windy day like today reminds me of the moors. This is Carl Wark on Hathersage Moor, seen from Higger Tor. Labelled as an Iron Age Hillfort, it's actual date and use is unknown, but it's stone fortifications are impressive.

Higger Tor or Higgar Tor is a gritstone tor in the Dark Peak, in the north of the Peak District National Park in England. It overlooks the Burbage Valley and the Iron Age hill fort of Carl Wark to the southeast.
The tor stands to the south west of Sheffield, east of the border with Derbyshire, which runs along the nearby road to Ringinglow.
A scene from the 1987 film The Princess Bride was filmed nearby at Carl Wark with Higger Tor visible in the background.
