Leicester Tower, where Red Leicester Cheese comes from. curdled milk entered the top of the tower. When the cheese was ready it would seep out of the holes in the side, taking on some of the red sandstone shade as it made its way through.

Lime stone pavement, a relic of the last ice age. Made as a result of retreating glaciers which if I was 17 again I would certainly rename my indie band. @yorkshiredalesnp.bsky.social #inglebrough #yorkshire #yorkshirewildlifetrust

The worlds first banked racetrack, built in 1907 at Brooklands in Surrey. There's a section (pictured) at Brooklands museum, another (still in use) at Mercedes World and a post apocalyptic wasteland section at the back of Tool Station. #wildandweird #urbex #abandoned #motorracing #uk #explore
