Taken from Bolsover 'Back Hills', Carr Vale village is the farthest extent of the housing in the foreground. Beyond that is the water of Carr Vale Flash wildfowl habitat, then the M1 motorway dividing the cornfields, and at the top of the far cornfield, amid the trees, is the ruinous Sutton Scarsdale Hall. On the far horizon is Ashover Rock. Contrast this view with contributor Andrew Hall's Image taken from almost the same spot.
