Limestone pavements are geological landscapes characterized by exposed, flat slabs of Limestone separated by deep fissures, known as grykes. They are formed by the dissolution of limestone rock over millions of years by water, creating a “paving stone” effect. The flat slabs between the grykes are called clints. Where these occur in river beds, natural fording points tend to occur.
