High Cup Nick

This view is of the northern rim of High Cup Nick as the evening sun sets. The Whin Sill (a hard volcanic rock) escarpments and basalt stacks make up an impressive colonnaded rim, of this silent, rock-strewn and primeval 1,000 ft ravine. All make this spectacular dale head the wonder of the North Pennines.
