The Nidd - about to disappear
Image: © Gordon Hatton Taken: 20 Jan 2009
Nidderdale is a valley associated with sandstone scenery, but a small area around Lofthouse has exposed limestone in the valley bottom where caves such as Manchester Hole and Goyden Pot can be found, and also the small but spectacular gorge at How Stean. The River Nidd appears in this picture, running fast after several rainy days, but at the low scar below the barn, most of the water disappears into Goyden Pot, reappearing at Nidd Heads at SE105732.
