Kneeset Pan

A wet area. Name comes from Eric Hemery; “Downstream from Pinswell Ford, Black Ridge Water receives two feeders: one flows from the north slope of Pinswell, and the other from Kneeset Pan, the basin-like plain at the foot of the deep Kneeset-Black Ridge fen.”

This is looking south to Fur Tor.

560 m Contour Ring, Great Kneeset

Notes: Great Kneeset, whose two main outcrops fit snugly into this contour ring, is a magnificent place, not for its tor but for the views afforded of the deepest part of the North Moor and down the dramatic West Okement Valley.
