Just upstream from Sleningford Mill where the river winds its way through and over areas of flat limestone. This is not the Carboniferous Limestone of the Dales, but part of the thin strip of Permian [Magnesian] Limestone that runs from Derbyshire to County Durham and which can be seen more locally at Knaresborough where the Nidd runs through a limestone and sandstone gorge.
