Southern Magnesian Limestone, Chalk and Limestone Mixed

Author(s): Jeremy Lake

Comprising an elevated ridge with smoothly rolling landform, this area is dissected by dry valleys of predominantly Magnesium Limestone geology. It extends in a narrow band nearly the length of the Yorkshire and Humber region from near Bedale into Derbyshire. Of the area, 11% is urban, 7% is woodland, 73% is cultivated and only 1% is designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
