Unveiling a Natural Wonder: The Peak District's Tufa Calcite Terraces
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Embark on a journey through time to explore the fascinating geology and evolutionary history of the Peak District's Tufa Calcite Terraces. Among the many splendid karst features in the White Peak of Derbyshire, one of the lesser-known sites is tucked away beside an industrial estate at Harpur Hill, south of Buxton. Here, you'll find a deep grassy valley containing the Brook Bottom Springs, carved into the Carboniferous limestone. Its floor is a vast sheet of tufa more than 200 meters long, creating a breathtaking natural wonder.
🌟 Highlights:
* Geology and History: Delving into the evolutionary history of the Tufa Terraces.
* Scenic Beauty: Capturing the stunning natural formations and landscapes.
* Hidden Gem: Discovering the lesser-known site at Harpur Hill.

Amazing natural phenomenon. It reminds me of Mother Shipton's Cave at Knaresborough. Fascinating stuff. Thank you for sharing once again.
Our pleasure!
What an interesting place Paul.
I'm glad that you showed everyone this as none of us would have ever known about it.
Definitely a place to take minimalistic image's.
You captured some cracking minimalistic image's.
Look forward to the next one mate.
Its why i wanted to show it, as its something thats there we would never see
Very interesting Paul, love the terrace shots. Drive past many times on the way to the peaks, I will make sure to stop of and have a look. always interesting vlogs I'd say👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Paul, Very interesting place and full of minimalistic potential, and so different, really enjoyed viewing it.
it was very interesting
Great video Paul.
Very interesting place. Different.
One of the formations in your photos looked like an outline of England and Wales.
Well done.
haha glad you said because i thought the same haha
The wonders of nature. I suppose the calcite deposits are formed in a similar way to the underground stalactites and stalagmites we see and rave about in cave structures. As you say Paul, fascinating 📷👏👏
Its defo wanders of nature
Hi Paul, i have been following you for a long time, and as far as I am concerned you have never failed to deliver a good video of your exploits and adventures, this also includes your views on Photography gear/mountain bikes. Thank you for sharing..
i really try hard to be me and honest and just be a real person..
Some terrific abstract shots Paul. Apparently some of them around different places are natural, but on Google it seems this one came from a quarry. Fascinating though. It makes me wonder just how long will this keep happening and at what height it will reach .
make me wonder how big it will get
Cool video and photos, the calcium deposits would have taken many years to form.
I am sure many years i would love to know how long
Hi mate, that looks natural to me, unless there is some sort of factory near by but it didn't look like it, definitely a very strange place and I think you did well to get any sort of shot from there to be honest. Although it was interesting, I think I'd struggle to get motivated to shoot that so well done you mate. Take care Paul and hopefully see you soon.
I was motivated for record more that pictures if you know what i mean
Dear god what are we drinking, if it was safe or unsafe surely there’d be a notice but it’s in the ground and thats where we get our drinking water. Your video creates some awareness and hopefully someone chips in with the answers. Great job keep it the good work.
This was what made me think, its running away into a steam
Totally natural. The most famous tufa terraces are in Pamukkale Turkey (worth a look up on the internet). Although I wouldn't be drinking gallons of it (mainly due to animal excrement) its pretty harmless, like the flouride they put in tap water to help with cavities. Everyone that has limescale build up in their kettles is seeing the same process. Might make a bit of a rind on your shoes like the rocksalt they put down on roads.
I was thinking of the Pamukkale in Turkey too.
i thought it must be ok as its going to a stream and thats not stopped.. so i thoughty it cant be that unsafe haha, just googled Pamukkale Turkey WOW
its amazing
From the phone map you can see a dump fan above the top pond from what was the bomb storage area WW2 which had been a quarry. Hence the 'camp' fence and defence structures.
Yer there was a place on the hill
Interesting, didn’t know the place existed, but what a classic British environmental eyesore for something that’s presumably potentially quite an interesting natural feature! Just google earthed it, looks like it’s had an industrial estate built above it and what’s with the tyres? You can see them littering the site on the aerial photographs. 🤷♂️
The eara is a working place so its got to be from the past works
Is there an abandoned chalk or limestone quarry or mine that is floooded and sending out all this chalk/lime?
It must be a recent phenomenon as the wire fence isn't very old.
the last video i was at the top, maybe its from there
The major component of these structures is calcium, like what bones are made of. However calcium likes to have company. Other elements/process can make the calcium into a bad compound or a good compound. ICI where famous for having trains run every day from Buxton including Christmas to serve there works with limestone in Cheshire near the salt mines. I think this is not a true natural deposit as the limestone of the area would need chemical processing to release the elemental calcium. The local 'tailings pond' must have a leek?
I agree.
Its amazing to see but i am not sure its good to see if you know what i mean
cool
Great images a really interesting place but maybe not good for environment
not sure its running into a stream cant be that bad can it?
the tufa calcite preciptates out of water the way all the chalks and limestone around the world precipitated out of the waters of Noah's Flood 4,370 years ago
Get a copy of 'A Brief History of Time #2' to learn about geology.
Wow if only i could read and take it all in i would like to know
