Thanks! Yeah there were a lot of folk taking sneaky snaps of that Ferrari.
It’s about a 60-foot drop. All the plants are bracken, which turns a lovely rusty hue in the autumn.

There’s not been trees here for 500+ years. The Forest of Bowland is mostly peat bog and heather moorland interspersed with gritstone formations.
