The landscape encompasses deep rocky ravines, tumbling streams and oak, beech and pine woods. Halfway up the valley loom the Crags – stacks of millstone grit. The area is famous as the home of the hairy wood ant, which lives here in huge anthills. Waymarked walks lead through the valley and link with footpaths and the Pennine Way.
