40 DESCRIPTION OF THE ROCKS 
Kingsdale, and in Stag fell, and Cotter fell, north and north-west of 
Hawes. 
East of Hawes . — In its eastward extension the Yoredale series pre- 
serves a certain uniformity of character through the whole extent of 
Wensleydale. The lower scar limestones continue to occupy the bottom 
of this great hollow of denudation, as far as Redmire, being covered on 
both sides by a system of five considerable limestones, with alternating 
shales and flagstones, which are exposed in the front of Addleburgh 
and Penhill and on the sides of Simmer water, Bishopdale, Waldendale, 
and Coverdale, as well as in Millgill, and the mountains over Ask- 
rigg, Bolton castle, and Wensley. 
The summit of Addleburgh is formed of the underset limestone, 
here thicker than usual, and the Hardrow limestone appears in the 
fine terrace of Thornton and Wotton, which corresponds to one equally 
grand on the north of the valley, extending, with some interruptions, 
from Hardrow to Bolton park. The whole series may be thus stated.
