Austwick is a small village in the Yorkshire Dales just off the A65 between Settle and Clapham.
With a backdrop of rolling limestone hills running along the Craven Fault the area around Austwick is popular with geologists, cavers and walkers. Of particular interest are the so-called "Norber Erratics", a group of boulders which were deposited on eroding limestone pedestals by the retreating Crummackdale Glacier at the end of the last Ice Age.
Also of interest is the lunar-like limestone plateau of Moughton, with its dry waterfalls, limestone pavements, clints and grykes.
