Description
Abandoned Millstone covered in fallen autumn leaves at Padley Gorge, Derbyshire Peak District National Park, Derbyshire, England, UK, GB, Europe
Padley Gorge is a deep but narrow valley in the Peak District, Derbyshire between the village of Grindleford and the A6187 road.
The gorge is wooded with a stream, the Burbage Brook. This stream used to form the boundary between Derbyshire and Yorkshire
The valley is part of the Yarncliff Wood, Padley Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), designated in 1972 as "the best example of the remnant oak-birch woodland that once covered much of the edges of the gritstone uplands of the Peak District"
Areas of the peak district were quarried in the past to produce mill stones or grindstones, and some can still be seen on the hillside,carved, but never removed
