River Derwent and Millstone Edge from Leadmill Bridge, Derbyshire A view in the Derwent Valley of the Derbyshire Peak District, near to the village of Hathersage.  Technically the Millstone Edge (the line of cliffs in the background) are located within the city of Sheffield, South Yorkshire.  Sheffield is the only British city to have part of a national park within its boundaries.

Hathersage, Cloggers Lane This map reference, according to the OS benchmark database, is the location of a gatepost with a cutmark. Today the field wall has been rebuilt and a new bench seat positioned with a splendid view down the valley. The seat is built on 2 stone supporting blocks. Is this horizontal cut to the rear of the block the remnants of the cutmark?
