Trow Gill Gorge

A favorite walk for us as we visit the Yorkshire Dales near Settle again. Trow Gill, a wooded limestone ravine at the head of the 'Reginald Farrer' nature trail at the village of Claham. Now a dry gorge, Trow Gill was possibly once an underground cavern formed by waters which now take an alternative route through the Ingleborough Cave / Gaping Gill system. At some point in time the roof of this cavern is believed to have collapsed - Trow Gill being the suggested result (though other theories have the ravine as simply a glacial meltwater channel).

Thanks Proxar. You know, as days goes by, I think to myself - 'how can I possibly carry on taking interesting photos' and as this walk turned out -life is full of impromptu photo opportunities. Glad you enjoyed it. ~ Herb

What an amazing place............it must still be quite damp down there, judging by the amount of moss!

I love the shape of the dead tree..........and the detail in the gorge walls is superb. The light and shadows are really lovely too. A corker of a shot Herb!
