Looking down from Stanage Edge, a gritstone cliff above the Hope Valley, the countryside gives the impression of still being a ‘green and pleasant’ land. Look closely and you get just a flash of autumnal colour….yes, a ‘hint of a tint’. It is still a cold but sunny day, maybe the cloud build up is an indication of change to come……
The Hope valley beyond Bamford Moor from Stanage Edge above the Buck Stone, The Peak District, Derbyshire. In the far distance is Mam Tor and to the right the Kinder Plateau.
