Limestone pavements


Underneath the trees ,hedgerows and rolling fields which cover the Eden lies the Penrith red sandstone which you see in the houses and along the beds of the rivers when summer comes.
But not far away lies a completely different bed rock.Go down towards Appleby and you soon enter limestone country.This brings with it limestone pavments with their unique ecology.This photo was taken on Asby Scar.
