The UK's first national park, the Peak District offers some of the most diverse landscapes in the country. In the south is the White Peak, named for its abundance of limestone, and in the north is the Dark Peak, with its long stretches of open moorland and its dramatic gritstone landforms. The Trinnacle is one such dramatic landform - a striking relic of Britain's glacial past.
Jutting sharply out of the hills above the Greenfield Reservoir, the Trinnacle is a stack of three sheer gritstone pillars - the name is a portmanteau of 'Triple Pinnacle'. It's the perfect spot to see the valley's cliffs and sharp crags, and the rugged expanses of Saddleworth Moor beyond. Ravens and peregrines scour the cloudy skies above, and in summer the moors are ablaze with purple heather.
This design shows the Trinnacle from above, standing like a sentinel on Raven Stones Brow. You can actually climb to the top of the Trinnacle, but the heights are not for the faint-hearted. The weather here can be fierce, and at times even dangerous - maybe it's better to enjoy the views on a tea towel instead!
