Giggleswick Scar

Giggleswick Scar, Giggleswick, near Settle, Yorkshire

Giggleswick Scar is a series of long limestone cliffs which were formed by the Craven Fault and which run along the route of the A65 (prior to the construction of the Settle by-pass), between the village of Giggleswick and Buckhaw Brow.

Heavily wooded, the cliffs are shrouded in trees disguising their significance as an important geological feature which would otherwise be a much more noticable landmark as viewed from the current route of the A65.
