The photograph on this page of Limestone outcrop by Jonathan Wilkins as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The short turf overlying the outcrop of Carboniferous Limestone comprises a high proportion of Common Rockrose (Helianthemum nummularis), giving an astonishing yellow carpet in this view.
