PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY 
The northern outliers of this great region form two very natural 
districts, one lying between the Craven fault and Greenhow ridge on 
the north and the Skipton and Blubberhouse line of elevation on 
the south, the other occupying all the space between this latter line 
and the Wharfe. 
In the northern tract the upper millstone grit exists in great force 
in all the hills from Flashy fell, by Rylstone and Burnsall fells, to 
Symon seat, Poxstones moor, Guisecliffe, and Brimham rocks, whence 
it may be traced eastward toward Fountains abbey. This ridge is 
highest at its northern edge and on the sides of Wharfedale. Flasby 
fell is 1170 feet (N.) Burnsall fell 1505 (N.) Barden fells 1663 (N.) 
all these are west of the Wharfe. In the other direction, Carn- 
cliffe 1471 (N.) Lord’s seat 1585 (N.) Symon’s seat 1593 (N.) Pox- 
stones moor 1513 (N.) High crag 1325. Padside on chert beds below 
Brimham grit 923. Guisecliffe 1000. Brimham 1000. 
In the southern tract we may distinguish two parts ; that surrounding 
Great and Little Almscliff, and that west of the Washburn and north 
of the Wharfe. Both these are gritstone districts, without any other 
trace of limestone than some debased cherty beds with fossils about 
Harrogate.
