Gravestones at Holy Trinity Church, Whitfield

Part of the graveyard on the south side of Holy Trinity Church in Whitfield, a small, estate village in West Allendale. The war memorial rises above all other memorials at the centre of the image where there's hedging.

Scattered trees in parkland

These trees are in the valley of the River West Allen just north of Carr's Burn and are on the parkland at Whitfield Hall. Curiously many of the trees, perhaps all of them, have a 'skirt' of stones around the bases of their trunks, surely placed there purposely. It's well seen in the nearest specimen and must be to afford some kind of protection.

Hollow in hillside

Obviously man-made, the hillside opposite the driveway to Low Keenleyside Farm has been excavated to make a small amphitheatre of unknown purpose. A small area of hardstanding stands at the entrance.

Road above West Allendale

The wide gap between bounding walls suggest that this might have been a former drove road.
