Horr Gorge
One of the nicest examples of the small, local gorges formed by water cutting down into the rocks with occasional help from geological faults and quarrying.
The Horr Gorge area has an interesting history as it is located within a buried valley formed by glacial action around 13,000 years ago. The old valley being buried by sediment in the many years after. The River Darwen here has carved down through the sediment and into the underlying bedrock leading to the deep, steep-sided gorge we see today.
