| Abstract: | The Mam Tor area (5 km west of Castleton, Derbyshire) is a perennial favourite for field visits by school and university parties and enthusiastic amateurs. As well as displaying the local stratigraphic relationships between the lower Carboniferous limestones and the overlying Edale mudstone/Mam Tor beds sequence, the major slope failure of the eastern side of Mam Tor is spectacularly developed. |
