Pen-y-Ghent

Pen-y-Ghent is a mountain located in the Pennines, a major upland area in northern England. It stands at 2,273 feet (693 meters) and is one of the higher points in the northern section of the Pennines. The Pennines are often described as the "backbone" or "spine" of England, extending south from Northumberland into Derbyshire. This region is characterized by its broken hills and valleys, known as dales, and plays a crucial role as a watershed for many of northern England's rivers. The geology of the area is primarily carboniferous limestone and Millstone Grit.1
