Norber erratics

They are found on the southern slopes of Ingleborough, close to the village of Austwick in the Yorkshire Dales.

The erratics are classic geomorphological features from the glaciation of northern England.

In his chapter on the Pennines, A. E. Trueman wrote: "Particularly well known are the great perched blocks of dark grit which stand on the limestone platform at Norber near Settle.

"[1] Many of the Silurian greywacke[2] boulders at the site are perched on pedestals of limestone up to 30cm high.

[3] Recent cosmogenic dating suggests that the boulders have been exposed for around 17,900 years.
