Pennines

Last April and May I spent some time in the Pennines near a place called Loxley where, legend has it, Robin Hood was born.

He wasn't around by the time I got there, but there were a few trees around that looked old enough to have been. The whole area was at one time covered with forest, but now a lot of land is farmed.

Here are some of the images I was able to capture whilst I was there. Damflask reservoir was the cause of a famous flood in Sheffield in 1864, when the Dam wall burst.
