Feel free to tell me that I'm spouting crap, if that's what I'm doing,
but aren't there parts of Frogatt Edge/Millstone Edge that look a bit
like that, and the valley beyond could be the Derwent Valley?

If I recall correctly (and the name Millstone Edge tends to bear me out) these are composed of gritstone. (I don't see them on the map either - are they on the Dark Peak sheet?)

The view's wrong for a start, Tom, and while there's precious
few areas of limestone pavement in the Peaks I'm not aware
of any that enjoy quite such a position as this. But then that's
why I'm curious about the pic. I have *never* seen that view
and I live here. I need to be out taking pics of places like
this if they're in the Peaks but I seriously doubt that this
image comes from anywhere 'round here. I'm with Roger.
I think it's the Yorkshire Dales.

One hopes the cover photograph represents a location on the map. Given that I'd guess somewhere around the head of Dovedale - but I've never walked on the Derbyshire Limestone.
