Carl Wark Northern UK. Are these an ancient superfortress, or just mesas, or both?
Thanks to a youtuber for suggesting this bizarre and odd place! Really not sure about this. Carl Wark was used as fortress from neolithic times. As for the rest of the nearby structures like Higger Tor, they look like walls from a bird's eye view. Really fascinating site.
This is my last vid until I get a new setup.

Sheffield is a city and metropolitan borough in South Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Sheffield name derives from the River Sheaf, which runs through the city. With some of its southern suburbs annexed from Derbyshire, the city of Sheffield has grown from its largely industrial roots to encompass a wider economic base.
In the 19th century, Sheffield gained an international reputation for steel production. Known as the Steel City, many innovations were developed locally, including crucible and stainless steel, fuelling an almost tenfold increase in the population in the Industrial Revolution. Sheffield received its municipal charter in 1843, becoming the City of Sheffield in 1893.
The city has a long sporting heritage, and is home to the world's oldest football club, Sheffield F.C. Games between the two professional clubs, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday, are known as the Steel City derby. The city is also home to the World Snooker Championship.

Hathersage is a village and civil parish in the Peak District in Derbyshire, England. It lies slightly to the north of the River Derwent, approximately 10 miles south-west of Sheffield. The origin of its name is disputed, although it is generally accepted that the second half derives from the Old English word ecg meaning edge. In 1086 it was recorded in the Domesday Book as Hereseige, and around 1220 it was recorded as Hauersegg. It is served by Hathersage railway station on the Hope Valley Line.
The earliest recorded church was built by Richard Bassett, son of Ralph Bassett, Chancellor of England in the reign of Henry I. The present Grade-I-listed structure dates mainly from the late 14th and early 15th centuries. It has a stained glass window by Charles Kempe, which was removed from Derwent Chapel before it was submerged under the Ladybower Reservoir. Near the church is an earthwork called Camp Green, thought to have been constructed during the Danish occupation. It is also scheduled as a Norman ringwork castle of the 11th/12th century. In the graveyard lies the base and lower shaft of a plain early Saxon cross.
Stones in the churchyard mark what is known as the grave of Little John, where in 1780 James Shuttleworth claims to have unearthed a thigh bone measuring 72.39 centimetres (28.50 in). This would have made Little John 8.08 feet (2.46 m) in height. One claimant to Robin Hood of Locksley is the village of Loxley, only eight miles over the moors on the edge of Sheffield. A number of local landmarks are associated with Robin Hood, such as Robin Hood's Cross on Abney Moor, Robin Hood's Stoop on Offerton Moor, and Robin Hood’s Cave on Stanage Edge.
In 1845, Charlotte Brontë stayed at the Hathersage vicarage, visiting her friend Ellen Nussey, whose brother was the vicar, while she was writing Jane Eyre. Many of the locations mentioned in her novel match locations in Hathersage, the name Eyre being that of a local gentry family. Her Thornfield Hall is widely accepted to be North Lees Hall, on the outskirts of Hathersage.
Hathersage Moor is the site of the Carl Wark hillfort and Higger Tor. Because of the scenery of the Hope and Derwent valleys, its literary connections, and easy access by train or road from Sheffield and Manchester, Hathersage is a tourist destination. Its visitors come to swim (open-air heated swimming pool, with cafe open all year[5]), climb (Stanage Edge, which with other nearby edges have been the nursery for many famous British rock and mountain climbers), or ramble in its river valleys or hillwalk on its open moors.
In 1990, the cutler David Mellor opened the Round Building built on the site of a former gasometer as a cutlery factory in the village. The building was designed by architect Sir Michael Hopkins. In 2007, an extension to the old retort house on the site was opened as a design museum. Mellor's wife, Fiona MacCarthy, continues to live in Hathersage.
Some of the scenes of the horror film Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (1974, directed by Jorge Grau, also known as The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue) were shot at St. Michael's Church in Hathersage. Hathersage has a population of 2,000 people with three churches, one school and numerous community organisations. There is an annual gala, scarecrow building competition and well dressing in July. On 1 April 2015 Hathersage and Outseats, the two parishes that currently comprise the village, will be replaced by a single new parish council, to be called Hathersage Parish Council.

Photographing Stanage Edge, Carl Wark & Surprise View on a rainy day.
Today I went to Stanage Edge, Carl Wark Iron Age Hill Fort and Surprise View.
The idea for this vlog came about in a conversation with a friend while looking at some of my landscape photographs. They commented that they wouldn't be able to take shots like that due to mobility problems.
One of the shots had been taken at Surprise View not far from Sheffield. In fact, it had been taken from the car park while sitting on the tailgate of the car!
This got me thinking, how many places could I find where you could take great landscape photographs from the car park or within a very short easy walk.
In this vlog I visit 3 places where it's possible to take good shots from the car.
If anyone knows of more places leave a comment with the location and I will try to do a shoot there.
I've listed the locations, each one has a link to Google Maps so you can check them out for yourself.
