Walkers have captured images of "breathtaking" cloud inversions in the Peak District.

Cloud inversions, also known as temperature inversions, form in valleys when it is colder nearer the ground than at higher altitudes.

The rare weather phenomenon was spotted by a number of walkers at Mam Tor and Lord's Seat on Saturday morning.

Clare Theaker, from Sheffield, woke up at 05:00 GMT to see the phenomenon.

"This is the second cloud inversion I've experienced on Mam Tor, and it doesn't get any better than this," she said.

"The conditions were perfect. A beautiful, mindful experience - definitely worth setting the alarm clock for."

Morgan Collinge, from Shropshire, said: "I've been to see the sunrise many times in the Peak District, the conditions made for the perfect mix of colour and texture.

"I was very privileged to witness it, especially from the unique vantage point of Lord's Seat."
