Southerscales Nature Reserve

This stunning nature reserve is perched on the side of Ingleborough. It is owned and managed by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. It is particularly important for its large areas of spectacular limestone pavement. The cracks, or grykes as they are known, hide a wide variety of special lime-loving plants. The limestone grassland surrounding it is full of butterflies in the spring and summer.
