TitleWild Moor (SK027746)
Date1972
DescriptionPerhaps the most barren and isolated section of the CHPR SE from Bunsall Top across Wild Moor, where the track is benched into the hillside to keep to the contours as it heads for the northern portal of Burbage Tunnel. This was the summit level of the CHPR at around 1266 feet above sea level. Centre left, the course of the railway can be picked out on a substantial embankment where it crosses the headstreams of Wildmoorstone Brook. On the right the ground rises up to 500m (1640 feet) above sea level at the summit of Burbage Edge, off to the right of the photograph.
