A walk exploring the geology around Smardale created by Cumbria GeoConservation as one of a series produced with National Lottery funding via the Westmorland Dales Landscape Partnership scheme.
Industrial limekilns next to an old limestone quarry at Smardale Gill. The lime was used in steelmaking and was loaded on to trains on the Stainmore Line (1861–1962), now the grassy path in the foreground. The quarry is an important limestone grassland habitat. © E. Pickett
