Limestone Scenery

The limestone areas of Cumbria and Yorkshire include over 50% of Europe's limestone pavements. Visits to this unique and delicate habitat will form the backbone of this three day holiday.

Limestone pavement

Pavements have taken shape over the 12,000 years since the end of the most recent Ice Age. Many were formed by glaciers scraping the land down to bare limestone which has since been attacked by rainwater to produce a network of blocks (clints) and crevices (grikes). The damp, sheltered grikes provide a refuge for woodland plants, including several rare ferns.

We will be situated with good access to the limestone pavements of Arnside, south Cumbria, Ingleton and Malham.
