Photos taken locally of the start to the changing of the season on Harden Moor above Keighley in West Yorkshire. The parking and entrance to the moor is across the road from St Ives Estate and is easily accessible and has a myriad of footpaths. You can make walks on the moors as long or as short as you want.
At this time of year the moor is awash with heather and I have done a separate blog of this. On Harden Moor, sandstone was quarried for at least three hundred years to build local buildings and dry stone walls. The Yeadonian sandstone was a rough rock and rough rock flag type, used to construct buildings in Saltaire and other local towns and villages. The last operational quarry on the moor, Midgeham Cliff End Quarry, supplied a type of sandstone called blockstone for local housing and closed around 2012.
None of these photos were taken anywhere near the quarries, if fact the were taken at a natural fault in the area called Deep Cliff Hole, across the road from St Ives Woods.
