Description
Early morning sunshine bathes the limestone pavement above White Scars cave near Ingleton, North Yorkshire. This is a strange but beautiful landscape where rocks have been scoured by an advancing ice sheet creating the characteristic clint (slab) and grike (cleft) landform. Few trees survive here as it is hard to get established, however this wind-stunted hawthorn (Crataegus mongyna) has rooted into one of the deep grikes.
