This is the scene of devastation at a Doncaster beauty spot as fire crews continue to tackle a serious blaze, more than 36 hours after it first started.
Fire crews are tackling the blaze at Hatfield Moor which has already destroyed a large swathe of moorland and important wildlife habitat.
The fire was first reported at around 5.30pm on Sunday and crews from several Doncaster fire stations have been tackling the blaze ever since.

Crews from Edlington, Doncaster and Thorne have all been tackling the fire at the beauty spot which is a popular destination for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
A fire spokesman said it was too early to say what caused the blaze and that an investigation would take place.
