MONSALE DALE - Derbyshire UK.
is a valley in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England. In geological history this area of Derbyshire was long ago under water, and is formed from a subsequent uplift of resultant sedimentary deposits, known as the Derbyshire Dome. Overlying sandstone and shale have been eroded away, exposing the underlying limestone which forms the basis of the area today, which is consequently known as the Whitepeak. Monsal Dale is a site of special scientific interest ( SSSI ). The local landmark is the Headstone Viaduct, built by the Midland Railway, over the river Wye. The headstone viaduct is 300 feet long, with five 50 foot span arches, some forty feet high at the centre. The viaduct no longer has trains going over it, it is now used by ramblers and cyclists.

One thing you can say for sure is that this is come beautiful scenery. The river could not find a better place to be. All the lush greenery and all. The viaduct looks interesting, but could not tell much about it. But for sure that farm setting is great looking. Just looks like it would be quite cozy in there. Good photos, my friend!
