Gunnerside Gill, North Yorkshire

Clinging to the cliff

Uploader's Comments

The cliff face in North Hush provides a habitat for bird cherry and juniper trees, safe from the attention of sheep. The presence of trees at this height [around 540m] indicates that they could also survive on the moortop if there were no sheep or regular heather burning.
