We have a small area of limestone pavement in North Lancashire near the coast. We had friends staying (Ray Cobb of Galanthus 'Ray Cobb'and his wife) who wanted to see it.

It is a great natural habitat with some rare plants growing both in the grikes in the limestone and around the area

the pavement with the water worn grikes in it

the only cyprepedium in Lancashire. It used to be larger with up to six flowers, but a couple of years ago somebody tried to steal it and it is slowly recovering
