Allusion
The scenery of the gritstone district is by no means beautiful or agreeable, except in the valleys above noticed; it consists chiefly of dreary moors, on some parts of which large masses and groups of rock are seen projecting on the surface, some of them in very grotesque forms. The most remarkable of these groups of gritstone rock are, those on Stanton-Moor, called Robinhood's stride, or Mock-beggar hall, and Rowtor rocks.ref>Lysons, Daniel 1806, vol. V, p. clxxvi.</ref>
