Almscliffe
Almscliffe Crag is a giant Millstone Grit outcrop situated near the village of North Rigton to the south of Harrogate, North Yorkshire.It occupies a lofty position above the Lower Wharfe Valley. Created by the erosion of softer surrounding stone, the distinctive shape of Almscliffe, with a large groove running through the middle, can be seen for miles around and provides amazing views in all directions from its summit. The crag, which only a 10 minute drive from my home, provides wonderful opportunities to practise my love of outdoor photography. The light and conditions, especially at sunrise and sunset can be stunning and inspirational.
