The Queen’s Chair
Very interesting rocks in the Peak District. The Queen’s Chair is a seat hewn out of a rock above the Rock Hall. It seems that the Princess-of-something (I could’ve looked her up of course, but this sounds better) visited this site in 1872. Having read about her, I discovered that she was still unmarried by the age of 30, probably due to her unattractive appearance and lack of income (ha ha, any similarity with actual facts or cases is purely coincidental). Anyways, all’s well that ends well, and Queen Victoria took pity on her and she eventually found her an acceptable candidate.

Another interesting rock I’d like to write about is the Lover’s Leap. There’s a funny story to go with it, but no photos
Got photos from the Devil’s Arse though… Be back soon!
