Carl WarkCarl WarkDescribed as 'amongst the most spectacular and easily accessible forts in the country', Carl Wark is located on a rocky outcrop of gritstone on Hathersage Moor in the Derbyshire Peak District, 380m (1246 ft) above sea level. The site encloses an area of about 0.8 hectares (2 acres) and is defended naturally on most sides by steep slopes. The side that is not protected by nature has seen the addition of a high rampart, constructed from earth and faced with a wall of large gritstone boulders.Carl Wark is an ancient fortress whose primitive fortifications can still be seen, merging with the moorland and bracken. It is a prominent outcrop of gritstone in the vally threaded by Burbage Brook, hemmed in on the east by the long line of Burbage Rocks, on the northwest by the loftier Higger Tor, and to the southwest by the sloping moor that terminates abruptly at Millstone Edge. Sloping up from west to east, the crest ends in a conspicuous prow. Carl Wark can be reached by many tracks through the bracken, and most directly from the bridge over Burbage Brook.
