Smearsett Scar, Feizor, Yorkshire Dales, England.
Neat! What caused the “grooves” there?
A large part of the Yorkshire Dales is comprised of limestone. Limestone kinda dissolves a bit in water and acid rain, so when the water runs through the cracks and joints in the limestone, it can create cool slabs called "clints" separated by deep fissures known as "grikes" or "grykes".
So Clint Eastwood = Limestone Slab Eastwood
