The Dovedale Twelve


Can you see the 'twelve apostles' in this photo? The guides I had with me assured me that, at this part of the River Dove (in the Staffordshire Peak District), the rocks that rise steeply from the water are known as the 'Twelve Apostles' - aka the dozen saints (except Judas of course) who followed Jesus around as he preached during his lifetime.
Er, perhaps.
I stared for quite a time, but couldn't make out 12 distinctly individual rocks, let alone a formation.
Was I at the right place even?
