Upper section of Abbey Brook, looking upstream An unexpectedly wild and rugged valley system opens up when rounding the corner opposite Gravy Clough. This is a fine km grid square scenically, hidden well away from the busy upper Derwent valley and the Derwent edges to the south. The path is very clear but does not seem to be heavily used.
