High Force, Teesdale, County Durham

High Force breaks around 70 ft over Whin Sill, a doleritic intrusive rock stratum. The lower stratum is carboniferous limestone. It is often quoted as being the highest waterfall in England in terms of an unbroken drop – that isn’t actually true but it is a beautiful sight and relatively easily accessible from the B6277-road through Teesdale.

Ralph's Cross, North York Moors

More correctly known as ‘Young’ Ralph’s Cross, this symbol of the North York Moors National Park – the least well known of the national parks in England – is surrounded by legend. Ralph is supposed to have been a guide to travellers or nuns. He either found someone dead here or died here himself. There is a place on top of the cross to leave money… but be careful about taking it: if you don’t need it local legend says you will die in the fog!

Thirlmere, Lake District

Technically, actually a reservoir rather than a lake. Before the reservoir it was two smaller lakes but in 1879 the Act was passed to turn it into a reservoir to provide water for Manchester.

The Swastika Stone above Ilkley, Yorkshire

Ilkley Moor and Rombald’s Moor are noted for their Bronze Age rock markings. Most of these belong to the ‘cup and ring’ type. The swastika stone is exceptional, being identical to designs in Northern Italy and in Sweden, and is thought to be of a later date. However, what you see in the foreground is actually a Victorian copy – the original is a few feet away and rather less photogenic. Remember, don't go up 'baht'at'!

Petrified forest from around 2000 BC off the English coast at Bulverhythe

This is part of the remains of a petrified forest off Bulverhythe between Hastings and Bexhill. In 1749 a Dutch vessel, the Amsterdam, hit the forest during a storm and sank. Care should be taken to consult tide timetables before attempting to reach either of these features.
