Winnats Pass, Peak National Park, Derbyshire
This is one of the filming locations used in Jorge Grau - The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue. www.filminglocationsdetectives.com/films/living_dead_manchester_morgue.htm Winnats Pass, Castleton, Peak National park, UK, is a long collapsed limestone cave system. The name Winnats is short for 'Windygates' and on a windy day you will see why it came by that name, for the wind seems to swirl around everywhere. The 'pass' part of the name is something of a misnomer - Winnats is a steep-sided limestone valley with cliffs on all sides, which climbs out of the Hope Valley onto the limestone plateau area above. The valley was created by the action of water eating away at the limestone rock - water gradually dissolves the limestone and the streams tend to find their way underground by gradually enlarging the natural cracks and fissures in the rock.
