Sheep grazing on a lush green hillside with stone walls dividing the fields, under a cloudy sky with distant rolling hills and trees

Your #PictureOfTheDay is of #Crummackdale, which is one of the smaller and quieter dales in the #YorkshireDales National Park. 🐑

It was formed by glacial and fluvial processes that shaped its limestone landscape.

A solitary stone barn sits on a grassy plain at the foot of a steep limestone escarpment, partially covered in scree and green vegetation. Dry stone walls crisscross the landscape under a dramatic, overcast sky.

📍Robin Proctor’s Scar, #Crummackdale

Legend tells of a farmer who rode home after late nights at the inn, trusting his horse to find the way. One night, he mounted the wrong horse, it strayed, and both vanished over the cliff.

It's said you can still hear hooves on the wind 🐎

A photo memory of a day of walking with a good friend in the Yorkshire Dales.
