Beautiful Headland


The best autumn mornings are like this, with a mix of sun and showers, shifting lighting effects, rainbows and constantly changing views.


This view would have been recognisable to those living at Strawberry Lea Grange in the middle ages when Beauchief Abbey was thriving. The Grange, owned by the Premonstatensian canons was, I believe, just here. The beautiful headland called by the Normans "beau chief" is clearly visible in the centre of the view.
