Fremington Edge, Rocky ridge in Yorkshire Dales National Park, England
Fremington Edge extends for 3 miles with limestone crags and scree slopes, reaching heights between 400 and 473 meters along its entire length.
The geological formation emerged after the last Ice Age when melting glacier water caused a landslip, revealing the rocky outcrops visible today.
Archaeological evidence indicates the presence of an Iron Age fort and settlement on the escarpment before the Anglo-Saxon arrival in the 8th century.
Visitors can start their walk from the village center of Reeth, following the B6270 road across Arkle Beck bridge to reach the designated hiking trails.
The area contains numerous abandoned lead and chert mines, with the extracted chert previously transported to Staffordshire for china production.
