| Dark Peak is dominated by gritstone crags, and the brooding peat moorlands of Kinder Scout and Bleaklow . Further south is the limestone country of the White Peak , broad plateaux dissected by narrow twisting valleys. Like the Yorkshire Dales further north, this part of the Peak is famed for the cave systems lying underground. The landscapes of the White and Dark Peak meet near Castleton where the peak of Mam Tor , known as the "Shivering Mountain", has forced a main Trans Pennine road to be abandoned because of repeated landslips. |
